Using Hold Functions
The hold functions hold data for specific points during the measurement period, such as the
maximum or minimum value, and output those values at the end of the measurement period.
❚ Flow of Operation
Selecting Hold Condition for Measured Values
The time period from the start of hold measurements to the end of hold measurements
is called the sampling period.
The value to be held during that sampling period is selected here.
The CLAMP value is output until the first sampling period is finished.
