To Store Minimum and Maximum Readings (Stats)
You can store the minimum and maximum readings during a series of
measurements. The following discussion shows how to read the minimum,
maximum, average, peak-to-peak, standard deviation, and reading count.
•
You can use stats with any function. When you change functions, stats
operation is disabled.
•
Changing input channels or selecting Scan does not disable stats. The
stored readings, however, are not marked as to the input channel.
•
After enabling stats, you can read the stored minimum, maximum,
average, standard deviation, peak-to-peak, and count by pressing
Shift >

the MATH MENU ( only if stats is enabled ). Go down to the

The average and standard deviation are of all readings taken since
stats was enabled (not just the average of the stored minimum and
maximum). The count is the total number of readings taken since
stats was enabled.
