Measurement Ranges (2)
••
In the autorange mode, the Meter selects the best range for input signals. This allows you to switch test points without
having to reset the range.
••
In the manual range mode, you may 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,
AUTO
is displayed.
To enter and exit the manual range mode:
1. Press
RANGE.
The Meter enters the manual range mode and
AUTO
turns off. Each presses of
RANGE
increments the range. When the highest
range is reached, The Meter wraps to the lowest range.
2. To exit the manual range mode, press and hold
RANGE
for two seconds. The Meter returns to the autorange mode and
AUTO
is
displayed.
Note
••
If you manually change the measurement range after entering the REL or Hold recording modes, the Meter exits these
modes.
••
Under frequency/duty cycle and capacitance measurement, only autorange mode is available.
