Capturing Continuity Intermittents with Continuity Capture
When testing continuity, the meter can capture intermittents as short as 250 µs, and
display them as open-to-short and short-to-open transitions.
1. Put the slide-switch in the continuity/ohms position.
2. Connect the leads to the circuit.
3. Press
[
j
]. The display shows the initial condition (either an open or short) as
shown in Figure 9, and
j
is displayed.
If the meter detects a transition, it beeps and the display captures the transition
(see Figure 9). Subsequent transitions cause the meter to beep, but the display
does not change.
4. Press
[
j
] to reset the display to the present condition and resume capture mode.
5. To exit, press [
j
] for 2 seconds or change measurement function.
