Automatic Measurement (AVM-510A)

Setting Automeasurement Limits
The AUTOMEASURE/AUTO MEAS SET menu lets you set measurement limits over very wide
ranges. You can set different limits for Input A: and Input B:, for 525 and 625 systems, and for
different component systems.
After setting the limits for any measurement set, the green (safe) area changes in the bar graph. You
can set the limits for each parameter, and anything else you set is saved for that measurement set on
that input for that system (525 or 625).
There are separate limits for Input A: and Input B:, separate limits for 525 and 625 systems (even for
the same input), and separate limits for each of the measurement sets as listed in the following table.

You can set the limits when you are viewing the automeasure screen or when any other display is
active. To set the limits for any measurement set:
1. Select an Input A: or Input B: signal input.

7. Press the Entr button.
Four columns now appear on the display. On the left is the MEASUREMENT parameter. The other
three columns show the minimum and maximum limits and the nominal values. Note that some
parameters have a maximum only.
