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.
