Dynamic Recording
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).

Each time a new maximum or minimum value is recorded, the
instrument beeps once (if the beeper is enabled).
dynamic recording mode.
• If an overload is recorded, the average reading recording will stop. The average
reading value indicates "OL" (overload) on the primary display.
• If the dynamic recording mode is enabled with auto range, the value of MAX,
MIN, and AVG for different ranges will be recorded.
• During the dynamic recording mode, the auto power-off feature is automatically
disabled.
