4.4.4 Sensitivity Band (Hold)
The reading hold function captures and holds a stable reading on the
display. The multimeter beeps and holds the value when it detects a
stable reading. The sensitivity band in reading hold decides which
reading is stable enough. This band is expressed as a percent of reading
on the selected range. The multimeter considers a reading stable when
three consecutive values are within the band. User has an option to
adjust this sensitivity band.
Default
The default band is 0.1%. User’s selection is stored in a volatile memory
and it will be cleared after the meter has been turned off.
