Comp
The Comp (compare) operation allows you to perform pass/fail testing against 
specified upper and lower limits. You can set the upper and lower limits to any 
value between 0 and ±100% of the highest range for the present operation.
Figure 2-5 Typical Comp operation display
When enabled, the actual readings are shown in primary display and the 
comparison results such as HI, LO or PASS is shown in secondary display. 
– You should specify the upper limit to always be a more positive number than 
the lower limit. The initial factory setting for each limit is 0. 
– The secondary display shows PASS when readings are within the specified 
limits. The secondary display shows HI when the reading is outside the high 
limit and LO when the reading is outside the low limit.
– When the beeper is ON (see “Using the setup menu” on page 59), the beeper 
beeps three tones on the transition from PASS to HI or LO. When transitioning 
from HI or LO to PASS, it will only beep once.
