Data Hold Function Press the “HOLD” button at any time to hold the current reading. To release the data being held, simply press the “HOLD” button again. Peak Hold Function This meter is designed with 1ms peak hold function at ACA, ACV, DCA and DCV ranges.
Measurement Procedures Current Measurement Switch the main function selector to proper current range. Open the clamp by pressing the jaw-opening handle and insert the cable to be measured into the jaw. Choose AC current measurement by press- ing the “AC/DC” button for ACA readings. To measure DC current, choose DC measurement by pressing the .
