Press the c key to reset the Min Max registers. Press the Min Max softkey again to revert to the normal display.
MasterCAL Users Manual Using the Built-in Calculator For solving mathematical equations that involve the calibrator’s source or measured value, you can use the calibrator’s built-in calculator. The present measure and source values, including units, are always available to be inserted into an equation at a single keystroke. The calibrator keeps measuring and sourcing during calculator operation. Start the calculator from the SOURCE, MEASURE, or MEASURE/SOURCE mode by pressing the Calc softkey.
Calibrator Quick Guide to Applications Using the Calculator to Set the Source Value When you store to SOURCE, the calibrator presents you with a choice of unit multipliers when appropriate (e.g., mV or V), then starts sourcing that value. The calibrator ignores attempts to store out-of-range values to SOURCE. Quick Guide to Applications The following figures show test lead connections and which calibrator function to use for many different applications.
