Manual Ranging

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

Press Uto up range. If the Uis 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 Tto down range. If the Tis 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.
