Automatic Trigger Delays

If you do not specify a trigger delay, the instrument selects a delay

for you. The delay is determined by the function, range, integration time, and ac filter setting as shown below.

DC Voltage, Thermocouple, DC Current (for all ranges):

Integration Time	Trigger Delay
PLC > 1	2.0 ms
PLC ≤ 1	1.0 ms

Resistance, RTD, Thermistor (2- and 4-wire):

	Trigger Delay
Range	(for PLC > 1)
100Ω	2.0 ms
1 kΩ	2.0 ms
10 kΩ	2.0 ms
100 kΩ	25 ms
1 MΩ	30 ms
10 MΩ	200 ms
100 MΩ	200 ms

	Trigger Delay
Range	(for PLC ≤ 1)
100Ω	1.0 ms
1 kΩ	1.0 ms
10 kΩ	1.0 ms
100 kΩ	20 ms
1 MΩ	25 ms
10 MΩ	200 ms
100 MΩ	200 ms

AC Voltage, AC Current (for all ranges):

AC Filter	Trigger Delay
Slow (3 Hz)	7.0 seconds
Medium (20 Hz)	1.0 second
Fast (200 Hz)	120 ms

Frequency, Period:

AC Filter	Trigger Delay
Slow (3 Hz)	600 ms
Medium (20 Hz)	300 ms
Fast (200 Hz)	100 ms
