To Change the Measurement Display
To Use the METER Format
The METER function displays measurements graphically. The METER format is
available for most measurements. To determine if the METER format is provided
for a measurement, position the cursor in front of the measurement’s units field
and press the knob. If the message “Press ON/OFF, LIMITs, REF, AVG, METER,
or units” is displayed, the METER format is provided.
As a measurement is displayed on the meter, the value is also displayed in small
digits below the meter. You can specify the high and low end points and number
of intervals, or you can use the default meter settings.
