4.1.6 Range (Manual and Auto)

Definition

When making measurements except CONT, DIODE and Temperature,

you can let the machine choose ranges for you, or you can select the

appropriate ranges manually by yourself. The difference between

auto-range and manual-range is the settling time. Auto-range is a

convenient way for user, but manual-range can usually speed up the

process.

If the input signal is beyond allowed range, an “OVLD” message will be

shown on the display. The threshold of maximum/minimum readings for

each range are 120 % of the range for maximum and 10% of the range

for minimum.

Default

The default is auto-range. The user selected range is stored in volatile

memory and the default will be restored when the meter is power-off.

Please refer to Table 2-1 on page 24 for the factory default range.
