HOW
TO USE THE METER
Pushbuttons
tone
is
emitt
ed
when
an
overload
is
recorded.
Push
(uinuax)
to
cycle
through
the
maximum
(MAX),
minimum
(MIN),
average
(AVG),
and
present
readings.
The
MIN,
MAX,
or
AVG
annunciator
turns
on
to indicate
what value
is
being
displayed.
If
an overload
is
recorded, the averaging
function
is
stopped and the average value
becomes
OL
(overload).
The
true
average
of
all
the readings taken over
at
least
a
thirty-six
hour
period
can be
displayed.
If
this
duration
is
exceeded,
the actual
minimum and
maximum
readings
will
continue
to
be captured
and can be
displayed.
However,
new
averages are
no
longer calculated.
The
last
average
calculated
is
retained
as the average
reading.
At
normal
(default)
record speed,
changes
to
the
voltage, current,
or resistance inputs
that last
at
least
100 milliseconds are recorded,
and
the "100
ms" an nunciatorturns on.
Press
and
hold
down
the
(miwm»x)
for
2 seconds
to
exit
and
erase recorded
readings.
In
the
MIN
MAX
mode,
press
C "'»
)
to
select the
Peak
MIN
MAX
mode
("1
ms",
"RECORD",
and
"MAX"
are
displayed).
Voltage
or current inputs that
last for
1
milliseconds or longer are captured. Press
10
(uinuax)
to select the
minimum
(MIN)
reading.
Press
again to return to the
maximum (MAX
)
read
ing.
To
reset the
Peak MIN
MAX
mode
press (~^iT)
twice:
the
first
press
exits
the
mode, and
the
second
press
re-enters the
mod
e.
To
completely
exit
the
MIN
MAX
mode,
press
(WW)
for
one
second.
In
Peak
MIN
MAX
mode,
the present reading,
average
(AVG)
readings,
and
analog
display are not
dis-
played. Before selecting
Peak
MIN MAX,
select
DC
voltage
or
current
to
DC
couple the
input
waveform;
or
AC
voltage
to capacitively
couple the input
wave-
form.
Peak MIN
MAX
works
in all
functions except
ohms, frequency
and
capacitance.
In
the
MIN
MAX
Recording mode,
press
to
stop the recording
of
readings; press again
to res-
tart
recording.
If
recording
is
stopped, the
minimum,
maximum,
average,
and
present values are frozen,
but the
analog
display
continues
to
be
active.
When
recording
is
stopped, the stored readings are not
erased
and you can
still
scroll
through these
readings.
Power-On
Option: Select
High Accuracy
MIN
MAX
Recording
The
High Accuracy
MIN
MAX
Recording
mode
has a response
time of approximately
1
second.
Changes
of
more than
1
second
duration are recorded.
The
"1s" annunciator
is
turned
on. In the
Frequency Counter mode,
readings are always recorded
at
the
high
accuracy
recording speed; the response time
is
not
selectable.
