10kHz lower freq. limit for AUTO. This
Timesaving is only possible when
AUTO is on.

50kHz lower freq. limit for AUTO. This
Timesaving is only possible when
AUTO is on.
INP:LEV:AUTO8OFF

You have to set trigger levels manually.
DISP:ENAB8OFF

Only the controller can read the result.
CAL:INT:AUTO8OFF
0.22 N.A. 0.22
You must instruct the counter to cali
-
brate the interpolators once in a while
to maintain accuracy.
SENS:ACQ:RES8LOW
0.81 0 / 0.1 0.81
Works up to about 40kHz. The resolu-
tion of each measurement drops to
100ns for PM6680B/85 and 80ns for
PM6681
(PM6681 Only: Gives Back-to-back
measurements in period, i.e. every pe-
riod in a block is measured)
TRIG:COUNT82100
0.69 N.A. 0.69
No sacrifice, the program loop in the
counter gets shorter, saving time.
