saved through a power cycle.
Note: Readings will not include the function (i.e. VDC, VAC, Frequency, etc.) or the unit of
measurement (i.e. V, A, Hz, Ω, etc.) selected prior to storing into the buffer.
4.3.1 Store Reading
Select a measurement function and any math operations first, then connect the test leads to the signal
under test. Setup the reading speed (FAST, MED, SLOW), then use the following procedure to store
readings:
1. Press → to enter the menu on the menu level, “A: MEAS MENU” will be displayed.
2. Use or key to move across to the SYS MENU on the menu level, “D: SYS MENU” will
be displayed.
3. Press to move down to the command level within the SYS MENU, “1: RDGS STORE” will be
displayed.
4. Press to move down a level to set RDGS STORE function.
5. Use or key to set reading store function to ON or OFF.
6. Press (ENTER) to confirm the ON/OFF selection. The message “CHANGE SAVED” will be
displayed to show that the change is now in effect. The meter will automatically exit the parameter
level and move up a level to the command level.
7. At this time, a “*” annunciator will light up on the display (This may not light up if the number of
readings to store has not been specified or if it is 000. Continue to the next step to set this up).
This indicates that the instrument is ready to store readings into the buffer. If the user decides to
turn it off at this moment, do not exit the menu system. Instead, follow step 5-7 again, with reading
store function set to OFF in step 6.
8. Use to move across to the RDGS COUNT command on the command level, “2: RDGS
COUNT ” will be displayed.
9. Press to move down a level to edit the number of readings to store into buffer.
10. Use and keys to choose a numerical place and use and keys to increment
or decrement the digits. Enter a number between 2 to 512.
11. Press (ENTER) to confirm the number of readings to store. The message “CHANGE SAVED”
will be displayed to show that the change is now in effect. The multimeter will exit the parameter
level and move up a level to the command level.
12. If you did not see a “*” indicator on display in step 7, you will see it now after the number of readings
for RDGS COUNT parameter has been set to a number (2 to 512).
13. Press → key to exit from the menu, and readings will immediately start storing into
the buffer.
14. Notice the “*” annunciator is still lid. At this point, it will stay lid until the specified number of
readings are stored into the buffer. During this time, do not push any keys to interrupt the
instrument from storing readings into the buffer.
Note: When the instrument completes the storage of readings into the buffer, the reading store
function (1: RDGS STORE) parameter within the system menu will automatically set back to OFF.
To store readings again, go into the system menu and set this parameter back to ON.
