GAIN AND TIME CONSTANT MENU

Gain and Time Cons The Gain and Time Constant menu sets the full scale sensitivity and dynamic reserve. The low pass filter time constant and slope are also selected in this menu. See the SR850 Basics section for a discussion of gain, time constants and dynamic reserve.

Sensitivity

The Sensitivity key selects the full scale sensitivity as the active entry

 

field. Use the knob to adjust the sensitivity. Keypad entry is not allowed

 

for this parameter. The gain displayed below the sensitivity is the overall

 

instrument gain, output divided by input. This is simply 10 V (full scale

 

DC output of X, Y, or R) divided by the sensitivity expressed in dB.

 

The full scale sensitivity can range from 2 nV to 1 V (rms) or 2 fA to 1 µA

 

(rms). The sensitivity indication is not changed by the X, Y, or R output

 

expand. The expand functions increase the output scale as well as the

 

resolution of the trace data. Whenever the sensitivity is changed, any dis-

 

played bar graph will change its range to full scale with zero at the

 

center.

 

Changing the sensitivity may change the dynamic reserve. Sensitivity

 

takes precedence over dynamic reserve. See the next page for more

 

details.

 

Auto Gain

 

Pressing the [AUTO GAIN] key will automatically adjust the sensitivity

 

based upon the detected signal magnitude (R). Auto Gain may take a

 

long time if the time constant is very long.
