Limit operations
Limit operations set and control the values that determine the HI / IN / LO status of sub-
sequent measurements. Limits can be applied to all measurement functions except continu-
ity. The limit test is performed after mX+b and percent math operations. Unit prefixes are
applied before the limit test, for example:
• Low limit = -1.0, High limit = 1.0
A 150mV reading equals 0.15V (IN).
• Low limit = -1.0, High limit = 1.0
A 0.6kΩ reading equals 600Ω (HI).
You can configure the multimeter to beep or not when readings are inside or outside of
the limit range.
Setting limit values
Use the following steps to enter high and low limit values:
1. Press the SHIFT-LIMITS keys to view the present HI limit value:
HI:+1.000000
^
This value represents the absolute value of that function.
2. Use the , , , and keys to enter the desired value. Move the cursor to the
rightmost position and use the and keys to move the decimal point.
3. Press ENTER to view the present LO limit value:
LO:-1.000000
^
This value represents the absolute value of that function.
4. Enter the desired value for the low limit. Pressing ENTER returns to the normal dis-
play.
