Agilent Technologies Switch/Measure manual Automatic Channel Delays

2Features and Functions

•To ensure you are getting the most accurate measurements possible, use care when setting the channel delay less than the default value (automatic). The default channel delay is designed to optimize parameters, such as settling time, for the most accurate measurements.

•The CONFigure and MEASure? commands set the channel delay to automatic. A Factory Reset (*RST command) also sets the channel delay to automatic.

Front Panel Operation: Channel (Configure) > CHANNEL DELAY > TIME

Once you have added the specified channel to the scan list, the channel delay choice will be visible in the menu.

Interface Operation: The following command add a 2- second channel delay to the specified channels.

ROUT:CHAN:DELAY 2,(@1003,1013)

Automatic Channel Delays

If you do not specify a channel delay, the instrument selects a delay for you. The delay is determined by the delay based on function, range, integration time, and ac filter setting.

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

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

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

	Channel 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

	Channel Delay
Range	(for PLC ≤ 1)
