Measurement Ranges (1)

A measurement range determines the highest value the
Meter can measure. Most Meter functions have more
than one range. See "Accuracy Specifications."
A. Selecting a Measurement Range
Being in the right measurement range is important:
l
If the range is too low for the input, the Meter displays
to indicate an overload.
l
If the range is too high, the Meter will not display
the most accurate measurement.
B. Manual Ranging and Autoranging
The Meter has both manual range and autorange options:
l
In the autorange mode, the Meter selects the best
range for the input detected.
This allows you to switch test points without having
to reset the range.
l
In the manual range mode, you select the range.
This allows you to override autorange and lock the
Meter in a specific range.
The Meter defaults to the autorange mode in
measurement functions that have more than one range.
When the Meter is in the autorange mode,
displayed.
