4.4 Limit Operations

Limit operations set and control the values that determine the HI / IN / LO status of subsequent

measurements. Limits can be applied to all measurement functions except continuity. Unit prefixes are

applied before the limit test, for example:

Low Limit = -1.0, High Limit = 1.0

A 150 mV reading equals 0.15 V (IN).

Low Limit = -1.0, High Limit = 1.0

A 0.6

kΩ reading equals 600 Ω (HI)

You can configure the multimeter to beep or not when readings are outside of the limit range.
