Compare Function 
Background 
The compare function compares a measured value to a 
“Reference” value that has an upper (HI) and lower (LO) 
limit. If  the measured value is within the upper and lower 
limit, then the measured value is judged as IN.     
There are three compare modes that can be used to make 
a judgment: ABS,  △% and % modes.   
The ABS mode displays the absolute difference between 
the measured and the reference value (shown as  △) and 
compares the measured value to the upper (HI) and 
lower (LO) limit. The upper and lower limits are set as 
absolute resistance values.

judgment
A measured value that falls within the upper and lower 
limits is considered IN (pass), a value that falls below the 
lower limits is considered LO, and a value that falls over 
the upper limit is a HI.
