Probe Hold
Because probing small areas requires careful concentration, it is often difficult to read the instrument dis-
play while taking measurements. Therefore, the instrument includes a front panel [Probe Hold] key that
allows you to take readings without viewing the display. You can generate up to eight readings and hold
them on the display for later viewing. These readings may be of different measurement types and you may
clear displayed readings at any time.
In Probe Hold mode, the instrument optimizes measurement settings to allow reliable detection of stable
signals (these settings are restored to their original values when you exit Probe Hold.) When you probe a
signal, the instrument beeps (if the beeper is enabled)and automatically records a measurement when it
finds a series of stable readings. You may take additional readings without pressing [Probe Hold] again.
Press Remove Last to remove the last reading from the list. Press Clear List to remove all readings from
the list.
Because the Probe Hold display is optimized for the Probe Hold readings, you may not combine it with
other display modes, such as histogram, bar graph, trend chart, or statistics.
Probe Hold is a front panel only function. Readings recorded in Probe Hold mode cannot be accessed
from remote. You can, however, take a screen capture of the probe hold display, see Utility Menu - Man-
age Files for details.
