Measurement Ranges (1)
A measurement range determines the highest value the
Meter can measure. Most Meter functions have more
than one range. See "Accuracy Specifications."
A. Selecting a Measurement Range
Being in the right measurement range is important:
l
If the range is too low for the input, the Meter displays
to indicate an overload.
l
If the range is too high, the Meter will not display
the most accurate measurement.
B. Manual Ranging and Autoranging
The Meter has both manual range and autorange options:
l
In the autorange mode, the Meter selects the best
range for the input detected.
This allows you to switch test points without having
to reset the range.
l
In the manual range mode, you select the range.
This allows you to override autorange and lock the
Meter in a specific range.
The Meter defaults to the autorange mode in
measurement functions that have more than one range.
When the Meter is in the autorange mode, is
displayed.
To enter and exit the manual range mode:
