Temperature
There is no range selection for temperature measurements, which are
performed on a single fixed range. Depending on the sensor, the maximum
temperature readings range from -200°C to 1820°C.
Manual range keys
To change range, press the RANGE ▲ or ▼ key. The instrument changes one
range value of the active function per key press. The selected range is displayed
in the attribute list on the second line of the front panel display.
NOTE The manual range keys have no effect on temperature
measurements.
If the instrument displays the "Overflow" message on a particular range, select a
higher range until an on-range reading is displayed. For best accuracy and
resolution, use the lowest range available that does not cause an overflow.
