Explanation
In the measurement mode, measurements are made according to the various specified
settings such as the trigger mode, measurement time, and range. The measured value
is displayed using seven-segment digital characters.
You can not change the settings in the measurement mode.
The following keys can be used in the measurement mode.
• SETUP/MEAS (SHIFT+R/%) key: Used to switch between the measurement and
SETUP modes.
• TRIG key:
Pressing this key when the trigger mode is set to
MANUAL activates a trigger.
• R/% key:
Used to switch the display when the limit mode is
set to deviation (%).
• STORE DATA (SHIFT+0) key:
Pressing this key while making measurements
causes the “STORE DATA” indicator to turn ON
and the instrument to enter a state in which data
can be stored. Pressing this key while the
instrument is storing data terminates the store
operation.
• RECALL DATA (SHIFT+ .) key:
Pressing this key while the instrument is recalling
data (“RECALL DATA” indicator is ON)
terminates the recall operation.
The error displays for measured values are as follows:
• When the value is over the range:
• When a contact check error occurs:
• When abnormalities are detected in the test current:
