To Store Minimum and Maximum Readings

You can store the minimum and maximum readings during a series
of measurements. The following discussion shows how to read the
minimum, maximum, average, and reading count.

You can use min-max with any function except continuity or diode test.
The min-max operation is local to the selected function; when you
change functions, min-max is disabled.

••

After enabling min-max, you can read the stored minimum,
maximum, average, and count by pressing

Shift >

(Menu Recall).

This takes you to the “

MIN–MAX

” command in the

MATH MENU

(only if min-max is enabled). Go down to the “parameter” level,
and then read the values by pressing

<

or

>

.

The stored values are cleared when you turn min-max off, turn off the
power, or perform a remote interface reset.

The average is of all readings taken since min-max was enabled (not
just the average of the stored minimum and maximum). The count is
the total number of readings taken since min-max was enabled.

Enables min-max operation;
Press again to disable.

Math annunciator is on when
min-max operation is enabled.

To read the minimum, maximum, average, and count,
use the MATH menu.
