2 seconds.
Note: Manual ranging does not apply for the Capacitance, Frequency and Temperature functions.
RELATIVE MODE
The relative measurement feature allows you to make measurements relative to a stored reference
value. A reference voltage, current, etc. can be stored and measurements made in comparison to
that value. The displayed value is the difference between the reference value and the measured
value.

Press the REL button to store the reading in the display and the "REL" indicator will appear on
the display.
