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.
