Because probing small areas requires careful concentration, it is often difficult to read the instrument display while taking measurements. Therefore, the instrument includes a front panel [Probe Hold] key that allows you to take readings without viewing the display. You can generate up to eight readings and hold them on the display for later viewing. These readings may be of different measurement types and you may clear displayed readings at any time.
In Probe Hold mode, the instrument optimizes measurement settings to allow reliable detection of stable signals (these settings are restored to their original values when you exit Probe Hold.) When you probe a signal, the instrument beeps (if the beeper is enabled)and automatically records a measurement when it finds a series of stable readings. You may take additional readings without pressing [Probe Hold] again.
Press Remove Last to remove the last reading from the list. Press Clear List to remove all readings from the list.
Because the Probe Hold display is optimized for the Probe Hold readings, you may not combine it with other display modes, such as histogram, bar graph, trend chart, or statistics.
Probe Hold is a front panel only function. Readings recorded in Probe Hold mode cannot be accessed from remote. You can, however, take a screen capture of the probe hold display, see Utility Menu - Manage Files for details.
