4-3.Bar Graph
The analog bar graph functions like the needle on an analog meter, but without the overshoot.
For frequency, duty cycle, pulse width, dBm, and crest factor functions, the bar graph
represents the amplitude of the input signal (volts or amps) and not the value in the primary
display. The bar graph is not shown for capacitance, temperature, AC+DC, AC over DC, peak,
or min max functions. For DC voltage, DC current, and all relative percent modes, a zero-
centered bar graph is displayed. For DC voltage and current, the bar graph range is the
maximum of the selected range. For relative percent mode, the bar graph goes to ±10 %. The
number of lit segments indicates the measured value and is relative to the full-scale value of
the selected range. In the 50 VAC range, for example, the major divisions on the scale represent
0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 VAC. An input of 25 VAC turns on segments up
to the middle of the scale.
