Method ConfigureAutoZero

Namespace

NationalInstruments.SemiconductorTestLibrary.InstrumentAbstraction.DMM

Assembly

NationalInstruments.SemiconductorTestLibrary.Extensions.dll

ConfigureAutoZero(DMMSessionsBundle, DmmAuto)

Configures the DMM for auto zero.

public static void ConfigureAutoZero(this DMMSessionsBundle sessionsBundle, DmmAuto autoZeroMode)

Parameters

sessionsBundle DMMSessionsBundle

The DMMSessionsBundle object.

autoZeroMode DmmAuto

The auto zero mode to be used: AUTO, OFF, ON, or ONCE.

Remarks

When Auto Zero is AUTO, the DMM chooses the AutoZero setting based on the configured function and resolution.

When Auto Zero is OFF, the DMM does not compensate for zero reading offset. Not Supported on 4065 DMM models.

When Auto Zero is ONCE, the DMM takes a zero reading once and then turns off Auto Zero. Not Supported on 4065 DMM models.

When Auto Zero is ON, the DMM internally disconnects the input, takes a zero reading, and then subtracts the zero reading from the measurement. This prevents offset voltages present on the input circuitry of the DMM from affecting measurement accuracy.

Exceptions

NISemiconductorTestException

A device in an underlying session does not support configuring Auto Zero.
