3.1.5 Range (Manual & Auto)
Definition
When making measurements except CONT, DIODE, TCOUPL, and Temperature,
DL-1060 will automatically choose a range for you, or you can select the appropriate
range manually. The difference between auto-range and manual-range is the settling
time. Auto-range is a convenient way for you, but manual-range can usually speed up
the process.
If
the input signal is beyond allowed range, an “OVLD” message will be shown on the
display. The threshold of maximum/minimum readings for each range are 120 % of
the range for maximum and 10% of the range for minimum.
Default
The default is auto-range. The manual selected range is stored in volatile memory and
the default will be restored when the meter is power-off. Please refer to
Table 1-1
on
chap.

Factory Default When Power-ON
