3 Functions and Features

Dynamic Recording

The dynamic recording mode can be used to detect intermittent turn-on or
turn-off voltage or current surges, and to verify measurement performance
without you being present during the process. While the readings are being
recorded, you may perform other tasks.
The average reading is useful for smoothing out unstable inputs, estimating the
percentage of time a circuit is operating, and verifying circuit performance.
The dynamic recording mode stores the maximum and minimum values, the
average, and the number of readings during a series of measurements. From the
annunciator display, you can view the following statistical data for any set of
readings: maximum (MAX), average or mean (AVG), and minimum (MIN).
