13. Reading rates are for 60Hz (50Hz) operation using factory defaults operating conditions dmm.reset("all"),
Autorange off, Limits off, dmm.autodelay=dmm.ON, dmm.opendetector=dmm.OFF, format.data.=format.SREAL,
DCV=10V, 2W/4W=1K:, DCI=1mA, Dry-Ckt=10:, ACI=1mA, and ACV=1V. For Dry-Ckt 100: and 2K:,
60rdg/s max with offset compensation OFF and 29.5rdg/s max with offset compensation ON. For Temperature
reading rates use DCV for T/C, 2W: for Thermistor, and 4W: for RTD. Speeds include measurements and binary
data transfer out the Enet, GPIB or USB.
14. DMM configured for single reading, dmm.measurecount=1 and print(dmm.measure()).
15. DMM configured for multi-sample readings and single buffer transfer, dmm.measurecount=1000,
buf=dmm.makebuffer(1000), dmm.measure(buf), and printbuffer(1, 1000, buf).
16. dmm.autozero=dmm.ON. RMS Noise using low thermal short for DCV, 2W:, 4W:, and Dry-Ckt :. For DCI,
dmm.connect=dmm.CONNECT_NONE or 0. Includes Model 3721 card accuracies.
17. For DC, dmm.nplc=0.0005. For AC, dmm.detectorbandwidth=300, dmm.nplc=0.0005. For ACI,
dmm.autodelay=dmm.ON (50ms), max rate is 50ms and ACV dmm.autodelay=dmm.ON (50ms), max rate is 50ms.
18. Speeds are within same Mux bank. Add an additional 8msec when changing banks or slots.
19. When properly zeroed using REL function.
