Autoranging
To enable autoranging, press the AUTO key. The AUTO annunciator turns on when
autoranging is selected. While autoranging is selected, the instrument automatically chooses the
best range to measure the applied signal. Autoranging should not be used when optimum speed
is required.
Note that up-ranging occurs at 120% of range, while down-ranging occurs at 10% of nominal
range.
To cancel autoranging, press AUTO or the RANGE ▲ or ▼ key. Pressing AUTO to cancel
autoranging leaves the instrument on the present range.
The AUTO key has no effect on the temperature, continuity, and diode test functions.
Filter
Filter lets you set the filter response to stabilize noisy measurements. The Model 2010 uses a
digital filter. The displayed, stored, or transmitted reading is simply an average of a number of
reading conversions (from 1 to 100).
To select a filter:
1. Use the FILTER button to enable the filter. The FILT annunciator will come on when
FILTER is enabled.
2. Press SHIFT then TYPE.
3. Use the , , ▲, and ▼ keys to select the number of readings and then press ENTER.
4. Use the , , ▲, and ▼ keys to select the type of filter desired (moving average or
repeating) and then press ENTER.
The FILT annunciator turns on. When a filter is enabled, the selected filter configuration for
that measurement function is in effect.
Pressing FILTER once disables the filter.
NOTE The filter can be set for any measurement function except frequency, period,
continuity, and diode test.
