A displayed reading
can be stored as the
offset
value. Use the
following
sequence:
STORE OFFSET
NOTE
In some
instances,
the displayed value may not be an
appropriate offset value. For
example,
if the displayed value is being
used
to zero the multimeter, it is important to
verify that no other mathematic operations are in effect.
In
such a case,
check
that
OFFSET, SCALING, and EXT REF annunciators are all off before storing a new offset
value.
