2. Description of the "Keypad" keys
Three operating modes are possible:
- the RUN mode HOLD inactive
- the HOLD mode [F2]
- the AUTO HOLD mode [F3]
The HOLD mode freezes on the screen the
main measurement in progress at the time of
the press. The instrument continues to
manage the measurements and to display
them in the graphic window or on the
secondary display unit (REL mode).
The type of range selection remains the
same: AUTO or MANUAL depending on the
configuration when this mode was entered.
The AUTO HOLD mode automatically freezes
on the screen the main measurement in
progress each time a stable measurement is
detected. It is confirmed by the emission of an
audible beep (if the "No beep" configuration
was not selected in the Configuration menu).
The stored values remain displayed until the
next stable measurement is made
(measurement different by ±100 digits) or until
the AUTO HOLD mode is exited by RUN.
The instrument continues to manage the
measurements and to display them in the
graphic window or on the secondary display
unit (REL mode).
The type of range selection remains the
same (in AUTO or MANUAL) depending on
the configuration when this mode was
entered. The AUTO HOLD mode is available
only for V and A measurements.
