range it was in, the LCD “ ” turns off. Press the button momentarily again to select
the next range. Press RANGE button for one-second-or-more to resume auto-ranging.

functions.

button momentarily to toggle the HOLD feature.
AutoHold Real-Read™
AutoHold feature displays the last latched stable-reading for later view when the test
leads are removed from the test points after a significant-measurement session. Real-
Read™ is to show real-time readings during the significant-measurement session to
avoid “blind” measurements. Press the AutoHold button for one-second-or-more
to toggle the AutoHold feature on. LCD “ ” turns on. Availability: Resistance,
Continuity, LoZ AutoV, VFD Volts, Voltage and Current functions.
◎
Significant-measurements (readings) are >5% of range in Voltage and Current
functions, or non-OL in Resistance function.
◎
Stable-reading is a significant-measurement reading having ≤ 30 counts in
difference with its two immediate preceding measurement readings.
◎
Significant-measurement readings are being displayed in real time (Real-Read™);
“- - - - -” is being displayed while awaiting significant-measurements.
◎
The AutoHold gives a short-beep with a flashing “ ” when a stable-reading is
successfully latched ready for later display. If any of the further significant-
measurement readings differs from the latched reading by >30 counts, the latched-
reading will be reset waiting to re-latch a new stable-reading.
◎
After a significant-measurement session, AutoHold gives a short-beep and
displays the latched-reading. The reading flashes to emphasize it is on hold to avoid
confusions.
◎
The AutoHold gives 3 short-beeps and “- - - - -” flashes to indicate a null capture
after a significant-measurement. It represents no stable-reading is being latched or that
has been reset after further encountering unstable signal changes to avoid displaying
misleading readings.
