Notes:
.
An
electrolytic
capacitor's
measured
capacitance
changes
depending
upon
the voltage
applied
to
the
capacitor.
6e_
cause
this
meter
cannot
use high
voltages
to
set
the
elec_
trolyte,
it
cannot
measure
the
absolute
cipacitance
value.
o
The
lowest
capacitance
ranges
have
an internal
capaci_
tance
that is
the
actual
input
capacitance
of the instrument.
lf
you
want
to
make
measurements
at very
low
ranges,
sub_
tract
the
internal
capacitance
from
the
measurements.
USING
THE
HOLD
FUNCTION
The
hold
function
letslou
freezethe
measurement
reading
on
the meter's
display.
This
function
is
useful
when
there'are
many
voltage
changes
and
you
need
a snapshot
of
the volt_
age.
To
use
the hold
function,
connect
the
test
probes
to
the
compo_
1e1t 9f
circuit
you
want
to measure.
When
you
want
the meter
lg
n{O
the reading,
press
DATA
HOLD.
The reading
locks
on
the
display
and
HoLD
appears.
ln
the
hold
mode,lhe
meter
cannot
take
any
more
measurements.
To
clear
the hold
read-
ing
and
allow
the
meter
to resume
normal
operation, press
DATA
HOLD
again.

USING
THE
BAR
GRAPH
ln
addition
to the numeric
display,
the
meter
displays all
meas-
urements
on a bar
graph
at the
bottom ol the display.
The
bar
graph
is
updated more
quickly
than the digital
display,
and
gives
a better indication
of levels
and trends
for varying meas-
urements.
The
bar
graph
has 41 marks. The first mark is
al-
ways
on, and indicates
0. Each additional mark
represents
the
first
two
digits
in
the
display.
For
example, if the displayed value is 1 .853, 19
marks
appear
on
the bar
graph.

For
DC functions,

MANUALLY
SELECTING
THE RANGE
The
meter
automatically selects the best
range
for most
appli-
cations. For
some situations,
you
might want to
manually
set
the range. To
switch to the
manual mode,
press
MANUAUAUTO
so AUTO
disappears
from
the
display. Then
press
RANGE
DOWN
or RANGE UP to select the
range.
