To enable auto ranging, press the Range key. The AUTO annunciator turns on when Auto
ranging is selected. While auto ranging is selected, the instrument automatically chooses

NOTE:
Auto ranging should not be used when optimum speed is required. The manual
ranging can improve test speed effectively.
Under auto ranging, some devices (such as CBB capacitance) will fail to choose

situation.
