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 front panel
keys beep tones.
• 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 diode is measured in the Diode
