Autozero
- When autozero is enabled (default), the instrument internally disconnects
the input signal following each measurement, and takes a zero reading.
It then subtracts the zero reading from the preceding reading. This prevents
offset voltages present on the instrument’s input circuitry from affecting
measurement accuracy.
- When autozero is disabled, the instrument takes one zero reading and
subtracts it from all subsequent measurements. It takes a new zero reading
each time you change the function, range, or integration time.
- Autozero applies to temperature, dc voltage, two-wire ohms, and dc current
measurements only. Autozero is always enabled when you select four-wire
ohms measurements.
- The autozero mode is set indirectly when you set the resolution and
integration time. Autozero is automatically turned off when you select
an integration time less than 1 PLC.
- The autozero setting is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not
change when power has been off, after a Factory Reset, or after an Instrument
Preset.
