Beeper Control
Normally, the multimeter will emit a tone whenever certain conditions
are met from the front panel. For example, the multimeter will beep
when a stable reading is captured in reading hold. You may want to
disable the front-panel beeper for certain applications.
When you disable the beeper, the multimeter will not emit a tone when:
1) a new minimum or maximum is found in a min–max test.
2) a stable reading is captured in reading hold.
3) a limit is exceeded in a limit test.
4) a forward-biased diode is measured in the diode test function.
Disabling the beeper has no effect on the tone generated when:
1) an error is generated.
2) the continuity threshold is exceeded.
3) you turn off the front-panel menu.
Turning off the beeper does not disable the key click generated when
you press a front-panel key.
The beeper state is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not
change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
The beeper is enabled when the multimeter is shipped from the factory.
