Auto-Off Time
Auto-Off time is the duration of time the instrument will
stay on when no activity is occurring: button presses,
running a measurement, USB communications, etc.
Pressing the
0 (ON / OFF) key will return the instrument
and the display to the state it was in when the Auto-Off time
expired.
The auto-off feature is ignored when connected to external
power (assumed to mean when not on internal batteries
which includes USB and External Power). When the unit is
connected to USB power, the feature is ignored but when it
is connect to external power (12 Vdc) it is not ignored.
To set the Auto-off Time, highlight the Auto-Off Time data
field and press
