Indication
E
-
Indicates negative readings. In relative mode, this sign indicates that the present
input is less than the stored reference.
F
Z
Indicates the presence of a high voltage input. Appears if the input voltage is 30 V
or greater (ac or dc). Also appears in low pass filter mode. Also appears in cal, Hz,
and duty cycle modes.
G
RS
AutoHOLD is active.
H
S
Display Hold is active.
I
p
Indicates the Meter is in Peak Min Max mode and the response time is 250
µ
s.
J
m
MAX MIN
AVG
Indicators for minimum-maximum recording mode.
K
K
Low pass filter mode. See “Low Pass Filter.
L
b
The battery is low.
XW
Warning: To avoid false readings, which could lead to
possible electric shock or personal injury, replace the battery as soon as the
battery indicator appears.

Displays selected range
P
HiRes
The Meter is in high resolution
(Hi Res) mode. HiRes=19,999
Auto
The Meter is in autorange mode and automatically selects the range with the best
resolution.
Q
Manual
The Meter is in manual range mode.
R
The number of segments is relative to the full-scale value of the selected range. In
normal operation 0 (zero) is on the left. The polarity indicator at the left of the
graph indicates the polarity of the input. The graph does not operate with the
capacitance, frequency counter functions, temperature, or peak min max. For more
information, see “Bar Graph”. The bar graph also has a zoom function, as
described under "Zoom Mode".
