Autozero
When autozero is enabled (default), the multimeter internally
disconnects the input signal following each measurement, and takes a
zero reading. It then subtracts the zero reading from the preceding
reading. This prevents offset voltages present on the multimeter’s input
circuitry from affecting measure ment accuracy.
When autozero is disabled, the multimeter takes one zero reading and
subtracts it from all subsequent measurements. It takes a new zero
reading each time you change the function, range, or integration time.
Applies to dc voltage, dc cur rent, and 2-wire ohms measurements only.
Autozero is enabled when you select 4-wire ohms or rati o measurements.
•The autozero mode is stored in volatile memory; the multimeter
automatically enables autozero when power has been off or after a
remote interface reset.
•Front-Panel Operation: The autozero mode is set in directly when you
set the resolution.
•Remote Interface Operation: The OFF and ONCE parameters have a
similar effect. Autozero OFF does not issue a new zero measu rement.
Autozero ONCE issues an immediate zero measurement.
