The Beeper
Normally, the multimeter beeps whenever certain conditions are met (for
example, the multimeter beeps when a stable reading is captured in
reading hold mode). The beeper is factory set to ON, but may be disabled
or enabled manually.
• Turning off the beeper does not disable the key click generated when
you press a front- panel key.
• A beep tone is always emitted (even with the beep state turned OFF) in
the following cases.
• A continuity measurement is less than or equal to the continuity
threshold.
• A SYSTem:BEEPer command is sent.
• An error is generated.
• In addition to the beep operations just described, when the beeper is
ON, a single beep occurs for the following cases (turning the beeper
OFF disables the beep for the following cases):
• When a new Min or Max value is stored
• When a new stable reading is updated on display for Math Hold
operation
• When a measurement exceeds the HI or LO Limit value
• When a forward- biased is measured in the Diode function
