When enabled, the dB operation computes the dBm value for the next
reading, stores the dBm result into the dB Ref register and immediately
produces the following calculation. The first displayed reading is always
precisely 000.00 dB.

Min/Max

The Min/Max (Minimum/Maximum) operation stores the minimum and
maximum values, the average, and the number of readings during a series
of measurements.
When enabled, the Min/Max operation turns on the MnMx annunciator
and begins accumulating various statistics about the readings being
displayed.
Each time a new minimum or maximum value is stored, the instrument
beeps once (if the beeper is enabled) and briefly turns on the appropriate
Max or Min annunciator. The multimeter calculates the average of all
readings and records the number of readings taken since Min/Max was
enabled.
• Accumulated statistics are:
• Max- - maximum reading since Min/Max was enabled
• Min- - minimum reading since Min/Max was enabled
• Avg- - average of all readings since Min/Max was enabled
• N- - number of readings taken since Min/Max was enabled
