to continue taking measurements, then perform the following steps.
1 Press Limit Modes key until ON FAIL: STOP is displayed.
2 Press any one of the arrow keys to toggle to the next state.
ON FAIL: GO ON is displayed.
3 Press Run key to start making measurements with this limits-testing choice
selected.
Now, each time a measurement drifts out of the user-entered limits the Limit
annunciator in the display will light, but the Counter will continue to make
measurements.
The Limit annunciator will go on whenever a result is out of limits. As soon as a
result is within limits, the Limit annunciator will go off.
