Digital Multimeters 
  HiRes Mode (28 II) 
33 
Zoom Mode (Power Up Option Only) 
To use the Rel Zoom Bargraph: 
1. Hold down 
 while turning the Meter on. The 
display reads “2rEL”. 
2.  Select the relative mode by pressing 
 again. 
3.  The center of the bargraph now represents zero and 
the sensitivity of the bargraph increases by a factor 
of 10. Measured values more negative than the 
stored reference activate segments to the left of 
center; values more positive activate segments to the 
right of center. 
Uses for the Zoom Mode  
The relative mode, combined with the increased 
sensitivity of the bargraph's zoom mode, helps you make 
fast and accurate zero and peak adjustments.  
For zero adjustments, set the Meter to the desired 
function, short the test leads together, press 
; then 
connect the leads to the circuit under test. Adjust the 
circuit's variable component until the display reads zero. 
Only the center segment on the zoom bargraph is lit.  
For peak adjustments, set the Meter to the desired 
function, connect the leads to the circuit under test; then 
press 
. The display reads zero. As you adjust for a 
positive or negative peak, the bargraph length increases 
to the right or left of zero. If an overange symbol (< >) 
lights, press  twice to set a new reference; then 
continue with the adjustment. 
HiRes Mode (28 II) 
On a Model 28 II, push  for one second to enter the 
high-resolution (HiRes) 4-1/2 digit mode. Readings are 
displayed at 10 times the normal resolution with a 
maximum display of 19,999 counts. The HiRes mode 
works in all modes except capacitance, frequency counter 
functions, temperature, and the 250 μs (peak) MIN MAX 
modes. 
To return to the 3-1/2 digit mode, push  for one second.
