k. Peak Mode
1. Set the 296 to the ACA function.
2. Push the RNG button and select the desired
3. Push the TRIM button until PEAK shows on LCD.
4. Allow the LCD to stabilize to zero.
5. Clamp the jaws around a single conductor to the
6. Apply power to the device under test.
7. Read the PEAK current on the LCD immediately
Press the HOLD button at any time on any function
to freeze the reading on the LCD display. This
function is very useful when measuring in locations
where the display is difficult to read.
Press the TRIM button when measuring unstable
signals to stabilize the reading. The 296 will aver-
age the measured value approximately every 1.25
seconds to obtain a clearer picture of the current
or voltage being measured.
