Learn about Lake Shore Cryotronics’ new patented seamless auto-ranging technique
Traditional auto-ranging techniques often suffer from time and gain correction discontinuities, discouraging users from auto-ranging techniques in favour of smooth yet noisier measurements.
That changes when you use the M81-SSM with the VM-10 module. This patented processing algorithm allows you to collect low-noise data with smooth transitions across four decades of voltage ranges. Get quality data without the gaps, glitches, or discrepancies that occur with traditional auto-ranging implementations.

About This Technical Note
Voltmeters are typically constructed with various gain stages for optimal signal-to-noise ratio. Noise figures can vary by several orders of magnitude based on the selected voltage range, necessitating operation within the optical range for the best measurements. Auto-ranging algorithms can help manage this, especially when measuring novel materials or devices that display unpredictable signals or undergo large dynamic changes. For instance, during a metal-to-insulating phase transition, there can be large resistance changes that require crossing multiple voltage measurement ranges. Traditional auto-ranging techniques often suffer from time and gain correction discontinuities, discouraging users from users from auto-ranging techniques in favour of smooth yet noisier measurements. In this technical note, Lake Shore will describe the VM-10 patented seamless auto-ranging technique, which utilises both hardware and software to create a smooth, seamless transition across 4 decades of voltage ranges.
