3.6 Measurement Range
A measurement range determines the measuring limits. The meter has several measurement ranges.
1)
Select a proper measurement range:
If the selected measurement range is too small (the testing signal exceeds the measurement range), the
meter will display “OL” on the LCD.
If the selected measurement range is to large, the testing results may have a relatively low resolution.
2)
Auto range and Manual range
The meter has both auto range and manual range for the measurements.
In the AUTO measuring mode, the meter will automatically select a most suitable range for the testing
signal. In AUTO mode, the meter will display “AUTO” on the LCD.
In the MANUAL measuring mode, the measuring range is selected manually by pressing RANGE
button.
If there is more than one range in a measuring function, the meter will default in AUTO range. This
allows users to override the auto range and lock the meter in a specific range.
In HOLD or MAX/MIN recording mode, changing the measurement range manually will automatically
exit the HOLD or MAX/MIN mode.
