Relative Measurements
The DMM feature has a relative function that lets the user make relative measurements.
A relative measurement is the difference above or below a baseline measurement value.
To make a relative measurement, a measurement is made from the front panel then the
REL softkey is pushed (). The Product takes the measurement and freezes it as the
baseline measurement as shown in Figure 5-3. Any measurements made after this point is
shown as the amount above or below the baseline measurement that is referred to as the
relative measurement value. When REL function is activated, the range is locked
automatically.
