Saving Minimum and Maximum Values – “MinMax”
General
Minimum and maximum measured values applied to the measur-
ing instrument’s input after the
MinMax
function has been acti-
vated can be “frozen” at the display.
Applications
The most important use of this function is the determination of
minimum and maximum values during long-term measured value
observation. The
MinMax
function can be activated in all measur-
ing functions. This is possible for the following functions after
measurement has been started: RISO, R
LO
/2L and R
LO
/4L.
The
MinMax
function has no effect on the analog display, at which
the current measured value continues to appear.
Procedure
Apply the measured quantity to the instrument and set the mea-
suring range with the
Man / Auto
softkey before activating the
Min-
Max
function with the
Data / MinMax
softkey.
Man
appears at the
display with a green background. After activating the
MinMax
function with the corresponding softkey,
Man
is grayed out and
cannot be changed until
MinMax
is pressed again for deactivation.
MinMax
appears at the display with a green background. If auto-
matic measuring range selection was active prior to activation of
the
MinMax
function, switching to manual measuring range selec-
tion is also disabled as long as the
MinMax
function is active.
Both
Min
and
Max
, as well as the associated values, are displayed
between the digital and analog displays along with the time of
their occurrence.
The
MinMax
function is deactivated by briefly pressing the
Data /
MinMax
softkey, when the measuring function is changed or when
the instrument is switched off and back on again.
Note
As opposed to the
Data
function, the
MinMax
function can
also be used for temperature measurement.
The MinMax function is reset by pressing the
ESC
key.
After pressing
Data / MinMax
once again, the minimum and maxi-
mum values are displayed together with the average value
(“Avg.”). The Min Avg Max display appears without timestamp.

Measured Value Memory – STORE Function.
The following options are available for the storage of measured
values:
•
Store at instrument by pressing the
STORE
key on the instru-
ment
•
Store at instrument by pressing the
STORE
key on the probe
•
Store at the PC by triggering the
PUSH/PRINT
function in the
report generating program

Remote read-out and storage via the Z270S probe
The probe with integrated control unit permits remote triggering at
difficult to access places, and at locations which require your full
attention. The probe can be used for all measuring functions
except for current measurement. The connector cable is shielded
against interference.
➭
Connect the probe’s double plug to the voltage socket (V).
➭
Connect the KS17-2 safety measurement cable to the ground
socket.
➭
Establish contact with the measuring point.
➭
Start the respective measuring function by pressing the
START
key on the probe.
➭
As soon as the measured value has settled in, it can be stored
by pressing the
STORE
key on the probe.
Alternatively, the measured value can be stored with the help
of the
STORE
key on the instrument.
The
REC
storage symbol appears briefly in the header in order to
visualize the storage process.
Electrical Safety
Measurements per DIN EN 61010-031 may only be performed in
environments in accordance with measuring categories III and IV
with the
safety cap
attached to the control unit’s test tip.
In order to
establish contact inside 4 mm sockets
, the safety cap has
to be removed by prying open the snap fastener with a pointed
object (e.g. the other test probe).
