3.1.6 Range (Manual & Auto)
Definition
When making measurements except CONT, DIODE and Temperature, you can let the
machine choose ranges for you, or you can select the appropriate ranges manually by
yourself. The difference between auto-range and manual-range is the settling time.
Auto-range is a convenient way for user, but manual-range can usually speed up the
process.
If the input signal is beyond allowed range, an “OVLD” message will be shown on the
display. The threshold of maximum/minimum readings for each range are 120 % of the
range for maximum and 10% of the range for minimum.
Default
The default is auto-range. The user selected range is stored in volatile memory and the
default will be restored when the meter is power-off. Please refer to
Table 2-1
on
page
14 for the factory default range
.
How to set the auto / manual range:
You can set the auto / manual range either through the front panel operation or through
the remote interface operation.
Front Panel Operation

select auto-range feature. Or use
