Keysight Technologies 3458A Guide D'utilisation page 437

Purpose
The purpose of this Product note is to illustrate how you can use the revolutionary
speed and accuracy of the 3458A multimeter to achieve the best possible test
throughput and reading rates for your application. This is achieved by providing
an explanation of the trade-offs offered by the instrument, and its optimal use
with the HP 9000 Series 200/300 computers.
Topics covered in the product note include:
– DC measurements (Volts, current, ohms) - the available trade-offs of speed,
– AC measurements (analog ACV, synchronous ACV, random ACV, current) -
– frequency and period - selecting gate time to achieve desired speed, accuracy,
– optimizing the testing process through task allocation - using built-in math
– benchmarks with properly structured programs for maximum throughput using
