This feature is useful when a product specification is more
than one decade less stringent than the actual sensitivity of the
leak detector. If the leak detector is capable of displaying full
scale < 10

08
10 atm cc/sec would reduce the test cycle time by eliminating
the need for the leak detector to reach its most sensitive scale
during each test cycle.
Activating the range stop extends the sensitivity requirements

for calibration, thus eliminating unnecessary calibration errors
(see Table 2-5).
