Reading hold
For front panel operation, the reading hold feature captures and holds a stable reading on the display.
Reading hold is not available for remote operation.
A reading is considered stable when three consecutive measurements are within a sensitivity band.
When a reading falls outside of the sensitivity band, the instrument issues an audible beep and
displays the new stable reading.
This sensitivity band is expressed as a percent of reading on the selected range, and can be set by
the user from the front panel. The sensitivity band can be set to 0.01 percent, 0.1 percent, 1.0
percent, or 10.0 percent. The 0.1 percent setting is the power-on default.
