Hold Function
Measured values can be held and displayed. Furthermore, measuring mode combinations
allow the measurement of a variety of values, such as maximum and minimum values. The
types of measured values held vary with the measuring mode.
Refer to Measuring Mode on page 4-33 for details.
Measured values are held and displayed through the following functional components.
• Control panel
• External I/O terminals
• RS-232C interface

indicator on the right-hand side of the main
