2.1 Code Measurements
Code parameters may be directly measured with the Test Set. These
code measurements are active in any AC or DC voltage or current
range, as well as the Dry Contact function. These functions are se-
lected by placing the Code Function Switch in the desired position.
The Pointer will momentarily return to zero and then indicate the
appropriate reading. If the Range Switch or any other switches are
changed, then the measurement circuitry is automatically reset and
made ready for the new measurement.
2.1.1 Peak Hold
This function will capture and hold the peak level of the signal. If the
peak level of the signal is varying slightly, the Test Set will average
25 of these readings to give an average peak level. For DC func-
tions, the polarity of the peak is also captured and displayed using
the NEG Indicator. For the Dry Contact Range, Peak Hold will cap-
ture and hold a momentary contact closure.
CAUTION: The 2000 Series Type 3 will continue to read out the
averaged value of the last captured measurements, even after the
signal has been removed. The value will continue to be read out
until a new signal is captured or the Test Set is reset by changing
the setting of the Code Function switch or the Range switch.
