Sensitivity band (Hold)
Definition:
The reading hold function captures and holds a stable reading on the display. The multimeter
beeps and holds the value when it detects a stable reading. The sensitivity band in reading hold
decides which reading is stable enough. This band is expressed as a percent of reading on the
selected range. The multimeter considers a reading stable when three consecutive values are
within the band; you can adjust this sensitivity band.
Default
The default band setting is 0.1%. Your setting is stored in a volatile memory, and will be cleared
after the meter has been turned-off.
Adjusting the sensitivity band
You can adjust the sensitivity band through the front panel.
To adjust the sensitivity band from the front panel:
1. Press the MENU key, then use the PREV and NEXT arrow keys to select the TRIG
submenu.
2. Press ENTER, then again use the PREV and NEXT arrow keys to select the READ HOLD
submenu.
3. Press ENTER, then use PREV and NEXT keys to choose the desired band.
4. Press ENTER to set the desired sensitivity band (refer to Figure 4-32).
