Figure 3-6. Range Selection Buttons

Manual Ranging

Press

E to toggle in and out of manual ranging. The range you are in when you enter

the manual range mode becomes the selected range.

In manual range, the meter remains in the selected range regardless of input. Press

E to

toggle back to autoranging. Manual ranging can only be performed on readings shown on
the primary display; the secondary display always autoranges.

Press

U to up range. If the U is pressed when the meter is still in autorange, manual

ranging is selected, the AUTO annunciator turns off, and the next higher range is selected
(if there is one).

Press

T to down range. If the T is pressed when the meter is still in autorange,

manual ranging is selected, the AUTO annunciator turns off, and the next lower range is
selected (if there is one).

Measuring Frequency

(

F)

Frequency Ranging

Frequency measurements from 5 Hz to > 1 MHz are automatically ranged so that a
frequency measurement is always displayed with maximum resolution.

If the frequency function (FREQ) is selected in the primary display, press the

Uor T

to manually select a range. (Manual ranging is not allowed in the secondary display.) If
you select a frequency range manually, frequency measurements that exceed the full
scale value of that range cause "OL" (overload) to be displayed. Refer to Table 3-5 for
frequency ranges and full scale values.
