You can use the meter to monitor maximum and
minimum readings in a circuit, saving both readings
for you to check.
As the meter monitors, it displays the minimum or
maximum value it measured and stores those
values. If the meter measures a value higher than
the stored maximum value or lower than the stored
minimum value, it updates the value it stored with
the new value. The meter automatically sets itself to
manual mode when you use it to monitor.
