Common attribute: refresh rate
Background
Refresh rate defines how frequently the GDM-8200A
series captures and updates the measurement data. Faster
refresh rate yields lower accuracy and resolution. Slower
refresh rate yields higher accuracy and resolution.
Consider these trade-offs when selecting the refresh rate.
