Press the Rel softkey to turn on or off the relative operation. For relative operation, 
the multimeter subtracts the pre-specified value of REL operation from the actual 
measurement result and displays the result. See page 28, Relative Value. 
 

Dual Display 

Using  dual  display  function,  you  can  view  the  readings  of  two  measurement  functions 
simultaneously.

Operating Steps: 

1. 

Press  one  of  the  measurement  function  keys  to  turn  on  the  primary  measurement 

function. 

2. 

Press 

  on  the  front  panel,  the  secondary  function  list  is  shown  on  the  right 

menu, select the desired function.

 

3. 

When dual display is enabled, press 

  to switch the primary function and the 

secondary  function.  To  configure  the  secondary  function,  you  can  switch  it  to  the 
primary function, configure in the right menu, then switch back.   

4. 

Press 

  to disable the dual display. 

The primary measurement functions and their associated secondary measurements are:
