What does the auto hold feature do when a new stable reading is detected?

• A. Beeps and displays the new reading
• B. Shuts down
• C. Clears the display
• D. Switches range

Answer: (A)

Auto hold locks in a measurement once it has stabilized, so you can read and record the value without watching the display continuously. When the sensor output settles, the device beeps to alert you and then shows the new stabilized reading on the screen. This helps prevent capturing fluctuating spikes and makes logging the exact value easier. It isn’t about shutting down, clearing the display, or changing the range.
