To Store Minimum and Maximum Readings
You can store the minimum and maximum readings during a series
of measurements. The following discussion shows how to read the
minimum, maximum, average, and reading count.
•
You can use min-max with any function except continuity or diode test.
The min-max operation is local to the selected function; when you
change functions, min-max is disabled.
••
After enabling min-max, you can read the stored minimum,
maximum, average, and count by pressing
Shift >
(Menu Recall).
This takes you to the “
MIN–MAX
” command in the
MATH MENU
( only if min-max is enabled ). Go down to the “parameter” level,
and then read the values by pressing
<
or
>
.
•
The stored values are cleared when you turn min-max off, turn off the
power, or perform a remote interface reset.
•
The average is of all readings taken since min-max was enabled (not
just the average of the stored minimum and maximum). The count is
the total number of readings taken since min-max was enabled.

Press again to disable. Math annunciator is on when
