Beeper
Definition
The Model 2100 Digital Multimeter beeps when certain conditions are met or when an error
occurs. When you don't want the beeper to sound, you can disable it. Although you can turn off the
beeper, the click sound you hear when a key is pressed will not be disabled. The beeper state is
stored in volatile memory, and the default will be restored when the meter has been turned-off or
after a remote interface reset.
If the beeper is disabled, you will not hear meter beeps when:
• A new minimum or maximum is found in Min/Max operation.
• A stable reading is detected and held.
• The test voltage is within the limits in diode testing.
• The source signal fails the limit testing.
If the beeper is disabled, the meter still emits a tone when:
• An error occurs.
• Any key on the front panel is pressed.
• The threshold value is exceeded in continuity testing.
Default beeper setting
The beeper is enabled when it is shipped from the factory.
