•The following table shows the relationship between integration time, measurement resolution, number of digits, and number of bits.

Relationship between integration time, resolution, digits, and bits

Integration Time	Resolution	Digits	Bits
0.02 PLC	< 0.0001 x Range	4½ Digits	15
0.2 PLC	< 0.00001 x Range	5½ Digits	18
1 PLC	< 0.000003 x Range	5½ Digits	20
2 PLC	< 0.0000022 x Range	6½ Digits	21
10 PLC	< 0.000001 x Range	6½ Digits	24
20 PLC	< 0.0000008 x Range	6½ Digits	25
100 PLC	< 0.0000003 x Range	6½ Digits	26

•The instrument selects 1 PLC when the measurement function is changed and after a Factory Reset (*RST command). An Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command) or Card Reset (SYSTem:CPON command) does not change the integration time setting.

Front Panel Operation: DMM or Channel (Configure) > INTEGRATION > TIME

First, select the measurement function on the active channel. You are automatically guided to the next level of the menu where you can select a specific integration time.

Remote Interface Operation: You can set the integration time using the SENSe commands. For example, the following command specifies an aperture time of 2 ms for resistance measurements on channel 2001.

SENS:RES:APER 0.002,(@2001)
