To Set The Range
The instrument provides auto and manual range. In auto range, the multimeter selects a
proper range automatically according to the input signal; in manual range, you can use
the front panel key or menu softkey to set the range. The auto range can bring a lot of
convenience for users while the manual range provides higher reading precision.
1st Method: Use the front panel key to set the range.
When the Range softkey is shown on the right menu, you can press the
key to
switch between auto and manual range. Press
to enable manual range, and
increase or decrease the measurement range.
2nd Method: Select the range in the measurement function menu.
Select auto range: In the measurement function menu, press the Range softkey, select
Auto.
Select manual range: In the measurement function menu, press the Range softkey, select
a range except Auto.
Note
:
When the input signal exceeds the current range, "overload” will be displayed.
By default, the range is set to Auto at power-on or after a reset.
Auto range is recommended if you are not sure about the measurement range in order
to protect the instrument and obtain accurate data.
