[SENSe:]VOLTage:AC:BANDwidth

Syntax

[SENSe:]VOLTage:AC:BANDwidth {<filter>|MIN|MAX|DEF} [, (@<ch_list>)]

[SENSe:]VOLTage:AC:BANDwidth? [{(@<ch_list>)|MIN|MAX}]

Description

The instrument uses three different ac filters which enable you to either optimize low-frequency accuracy or achieve faster ac settling times. The instrument selects the slow (3 Hz), medium (20 Hz), or fast (300 Hz) filter based on the input frequency that you specify with this command for the selected channels. If you omit the optional <ch_list> parameter, this command applies to the internal DMM, independent of any channels or a scan list.

Used With:

  • 34921A through 34925A Multiplexer Modules

Parameters

Name

Type

Range of Values

Default Value

<filter>

Discrete

{3|20|200}

MIN = 3 Hz (slow), MAX = 200 Hz (fast)

20 Hz (medium)

<ch_list>

Numeric

One or more channels in the form (@sccc).

If <ch_list> is omitted, this command applies to the internal DMM.

Remarks

  • Applies to ac voltage measurements only.

  • For the <filter> parameter, specify the lowest frequency expected in the input signal on the specified channels. The instrument selects the appropriate filter based on the frequency you specify.

200 Hz to 300 kHz (Fast)

  • If you omit the optional <ch_list> parameter, the configuration applies to the internal DMM, independent of any channels or a scan list (any existing scan list is not redefined). An error is generated if the internal DMM is not installed or is disabled.

  • The CONFigure and MEASure? commands automatically select the default 20 Hz (medium) filter.

  • The instrument selects the default 20 Hz (medium) filter after a Factory Reset (*RST command). An Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command) or Card Reset (SYSTem:CPON command) does not change the setting.

Return Format

The query command returns "3" (slow), "20" (medium), or "200" (fast) for each channel specified. Multiple responses are separated by commas.

Examples

The following command selects the slow filter (3 Hz) on channels 3 and 13 in slot 1.

VOLT:AC:BAND 3,(@1003,1013)

The following query returns the ac filter settings on channels 3 and 13 in slot 1.

VOLT:AC:BAND? (@1003,1013)

Typical Response:  3,3
