Autozero<br />

Features and Functions 3<br />

When autozero is enabled (default), the instrument internally <br />

disconnects the input signal following each measurement, and takes a <br />

zero reading. It then subtracts the zero reading from the preceding<br />

reading. This prevents offset voltages present on the instrument’s input<br />

circuitry from affecting measurement accuracy.<br />

When autozero is disabled, the instrument takes one zero reading and<br />

subtracts it from all subsequent measurements. It takes a new zero reading<br />

each time you change the function, range, or integration time.<br />

Applies to dc voltage, resistance, temperature, and dc current<br />

measurements only.<br />

The autozero mode is set indirectly when you set the resolution and<br />

integration time. Autozero is automatically turned off when you select<br />

an integration time less than 1 PLC.<br />

The CONFigure and MEASure? commands automatically enable autozero.<br />

The autozero setting is stored in non- volatile memory, and does <br />

not change when power has been off, after a Factory Reset (*RST<br />

command), or after an Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command).<br />

Front Panel Operation: DMM or Channel (Configure) > AUTO ZERO<br />

Remote Interface Operation: The OFF and ONCE parameters have a similar<br />

effect. Autozero OFF does not issue a new zero measurement. Autozero<br />

ONCE issues an immediate zero measurement.<br />
