BENCH MODEL MULTIMETER

Relative Measurement 

Except for frequency, duty , Clamp(AC) , all other measurements can employ relative measurement. Press 

RELΔ 

key to

enter relative measurement and the meter will record the initial value when pressing the key. 

Displayed value = Actual value — Initial value

Press 

RELΔ

again to exit relative measurement. Changes of measurement value may be found in relative measurement which

also can be used for the small resistance measurements, for example, when performing resistance measurement, connect the

red test lead and the black test lead in short, press the 

REL

 key to record the values of resistance (resistance of both the red

and black lines), and after that performing resistance measurement again the lead resistance will have been taken off from the

display value.
