dmm.displaydigits
Attribute
Indicates the display digits setting for the selected DMM function.
Usage
To read the display digits setting:
value = dmm.displaydigits
value: Represents the present display digits setting.
To write the display digits setting:
dmm.displaydigits = value
value: Represents the desired display digits setting. Set to one of the following:
dmm.DIGITS_7_5 or 7 to enable 7.5 display digits
dmm.DIGITS_6_5 or 6 to enable 6.5 display digits
dmm.DIGITS_5_5 or 5 to enable 5.5 display digits
dmm.DIGITS_4_5 or 4 to enable 4.5 display digits
dmm.DIGITS_3_5 or 3 to enable 3.5 display digits
Remarks
This is the display digits setting for the DMM and it applies to the selected function as
indicated by dmm.func. Querying the setting when the selected function doesn't
support it will cause nil to be returned.
An error will be generated if the value is invalid.
Changing functions with dmm.func has no effect on this setting.
The factory default is 6 because on "dcvolts" and dmm.reset value is dependent on
function resetting.
Example
To enable display digits to 7.5 for dcvolts:
dmm.func = "dcvolts"
dmm.displaydigits = dmm.DIGITS_7_5
dmm.drycircuit
Attribute
Indicates the dry circuit setting for the selected DMM function.
