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, except for distortion measurements. Up-ranging for the distortion function is 106-112%
of range, while down-ranging is approximately 8.5% of 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 2016 uses
a digital filter, which is based on reading conversions. The displayed, stored, or transmitted read-
ing is simply an average of a number of reading conversions (from 1 to 100).
To select a filter:
1. Press FILTER once if the FILT annunciator is off; press twice if FILT is on.
2. Enter the number of readings.
3. Select the type of filter you want (moving average or repeating), 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.
Measurement Options 3-3
