Application of the Analog Filter
The analog filter of DM3058/DM3058E can be used to reduce the influence of the
AC component in DC measurement. For most measurement, the filter may not
require, but sometimes it can improve the DC measurement. For instance, if the DC
electrical source to be measured has a big AC ripple, it can be reduced by the
analog filter.
The analog filter cannot be used to filter the internal noise of the multimeter. It has
no use in DCI opening measurement, DCV short measurement or in measurement
of the output from a precise DC calibration instrument, on the contrary, it may lead
in additional noise and a bigger reading offset. To reduce the offset, the multimeter
should be cleared under the selected range and reading rate when using the
analog filter. If you cannot clear the multimeter, the measured results will have
errors as shown in table 5-3 and 5-4. For other ranges and reading rates, the
additional error generated the filter can be omitted.
