THD + N is limited by the A/D distortion (primarily 3rd harmonic) near
full-scale at frequencies below 200 Hz. At –6 dB relative to FS, the
increase in distortion at low frequencies is much less, typically 0.003%
versus 0.0075% (FS) at 20 Hz. Under some conditions (measurements
below 200 Hz), it may be desirable to manually set the input range one
setting higher, sacrificing 6 dB of noise floor for better distortion readings.
The auto-range circuitry optimizes dynamic range, somewhat compro-
mising distortion near full-scale.
