1: The GPIB format command will not affect the dead time for the block synchro-
nized mode because the counter captures all data before transferring it to the con-
troller.
+
2: Switching the real time calculations on/off In the block synchronized mode will
significantly decrease the dead time; however, the time for calculations(2msfor
PM6680B/85 and 1 ms for PM6681) is added to the transfer time.
*
In PM6681, low resolution is used for Back-to-Back period measurements.
The measuring time has no effect in this mode. Only the Timestamps are used.
