Bar Graph
The analog bar graph functions like the needle on an analog meter, but
without the overshoot. The bar graph updates 40 times per second.
Because the graph responds 10 times faster than the digital display, it is
useful for making peak and null adjustments and observing rapidly
changing inputs. The graph is not shown for capacitance, frequency
counter functions, temperature, or peak min max.
The number of lit segments indicates the measured value and is relative
to the full-scale value of the selected range.
In the 60 V range, for example, the major divisions on the scale represent
0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 V. An input of -30 V lights the negative sign and the
segments up to the middle of the scale.
The bar graph also has a zoom function, as described under “Zoom
Mode” in the Users Manual located on the 80 Series V User Manuals CD.

MIN MAX Function
B
Enter MIN MAX recording mode. The Meter is locked in the range displayed before you entered MIN MAX mode.
(Select the desired measurement function and range before entering MIN MAX.) The Meter beeps each time a new
minimum or maximum value is recorded.
B
(while in MIN MAX mode)
Step through maximum (MAX), minimum (MIN), and average (AVG) and present values.
E
PEAK MIN MAX
Model 87 only:
Select 100 ms or 250
μ
s response time. (The 250
μ
s response time is indicated by
p
on the
display.) Stored values are erased. The present and AVG (average) values are not available when 250
μ
s is
selected.
D
Stop recording without erasing stored values. Press again to resume recording.
B
(hold for 1 second)
Exit MIN MAX mode. Stored values are erased. The Meter stays in the selected range.
