Capturing Continuity Intermittents with Continuity Capture

When testing continuity, the meter can capture intermittents as short as 250 µs, and display them as open-to-short and short-to-open transitions.

1.Put the slide-switch in the continuity/ohms position.

2.Connect the leads to the circuit.

3.Press [j]. The display shows the initial condition (either an open or short) as shown in Figure 9, and j is displayed.

If the meter detects a transition, it beeps and the display captures the transition (see Figure 9). Subsequent transitions cause the meter to beep, but the display does not change.

4.Press [j] to reset the display to the present condition and resume capture mode.

5.To exit, press [j] for 2 seconds or change measurement function.
