3.4. Functional description

3.4.1. Data Hold

This Data Hold function allows the operator to freeze the display. To enter this mode,
press the « DH » pushbutton; press again to release.
3.4.2. Static Recording™ ™ ™ ™
Press the "REC" pushbutton for one second to enter the static recording mode. The
maximum and minimum readings are then stored in memory, while a beeping tone is
produced when a new tested value has been recorded. Push the same button to
cycle through the maximum, minimum and average of the present readings. The
MAX, MIN or AVG indicators will display on LCD will turn on to indicate what value is
being displayed. Whenever the "MAX AVG MIN" indicators appear on the LCD
simultaneously, the display reading is always a present value.
To exit this mode, press and hold the pushbutton for one second.
Notes

3.4.3. Dissipation factor / Quality factor / Phase angle

The D / Q / θ value can be displayed interchangeably by pressing the D / Q / θ button
when the meter is set to Inductance or Capacitance mode. It does not work in
resistance measurement.

3.4.4. Frequency measurement

1 kHz is default. Push the « FREQ » key to select the desired test frequency
(100 Hz, 120 Hz, 1 kHz or 10 kHz).
The use of 100 Hz frequency is advised for measurements of strong capacity or
inductance value. The 10 kHz frequency is advised for low capacity and inductance
values.

3.4.5. L / C / R function selector

Simply press the « L / C / R » pushbutton to select the desired L, C or R function.
II - 36
Static recording captures only stable values and updates the memory ; it
will not record any "OL" (overload) value for any of the L/C/R functions.
In addition, the meter will not record values which are below 50 counts
in Capacitance measurement.
Static recording is only available in manual ranging. The requirement
of static recording will activate the meter into manual ranging after
automatic calibration.
