196 - Digital Multimeter, Auto/Manual Ranging, Bargraph, Process Meter.
The DMM 196 is a hand-held autoranging DMM. The backlit LCD can display three readings at one time. In addition to basic function of AC/DC V, AC/DC A, Ohm, Diode test, continuity, Capacitance, Frequency, there is the adaptor function. The DMM 196 also has RS232 output and software for recording information into a PC.
The DMM 196 also features:
.
REC Records Min/Max and Average readings during specified measurement intervals.
. COMP Compare actual reading to preset HI and LOW value for Pass/Fail testing of component.
. HOLD Tow hold system automatically holds the previous stable reading when a new one is obtained.
