MinMax Recording
The MinMax operation stores the maximum, minimum, and average input
values during a series of measurements. When the input goes below the
recorded minimum or maximum value, the multimeter beeps and records
the new value. The multimeter also calculates an average of all readings
taken since the MinMax mode was activated. From the multimeter’s
display, you can view the following statistical data for any set of readings:
•MAX: highest reading since the MinMax function was enabled
• MIN: lowest reading since the MinMax function was enabled
•AVG: the average or mean of all the readings since the MinMax function
was enabled
•MAXMINAVG: present reading (actual input signal value)
Refer to the following steps to use the MinMax Recording mode:
1 Press for more than one second to enter the MinMax Recording
mode. The multimeter is now in the continuous mode or non- data hold
(non- trigger) mode.
2 The beeper sounds when a new maximum or minimum value is
recorded.
3 Press to scroll through the maximum, minimum, average, and
present readings. The MAX, MIN, AV G or MAXMINAVG annunciator
lights up correspondingly to the displayed readings.
4 Press for more than one second to exit the MinMax Recording
mode.
• The average value is the true average of all measured values taken in the MinMax
Recording mode.
• If an overload is recorded, the averaging function will stop and the average value
becomes OL (overload).
• The auto power off feature ( ) is disabled in MinMax Recording mode.
