MANUAL RANGE SELECTION
The TC815 voltage and resistance auto-ranging fea-
ture can be disabled by momentarily bringing RANGE
(Pin 59) to digital ground potential (Pin 58). When the
change from auto-to-manual ranging occurs, the first
manual range selected is the last range in the Auto-
Ranging mode.
The TC815 power-up circuit selects auto-range opera-
tion initially. Once the manual range option is entered,
range changes are made by momentarily grounding
the RANGE control input. The TC815 remains in the
Manual Range mode until the measurement function
(voltage or resistance), or measurement option (AC/
DC,
Ω/LOΩ) changes. This causes the TC815 to return
to auto-ranging operation.
The “Auto” LCD annunciator driver is active only in the
Auto-Range mode. Table 5-1 shows typical operation,
where the manual range selection option is used. Also
shown is the extended resolution display format.
Note
1:
A flashing MSD is shown as a “1”. A flashing MSD indicates the TC815 is over-ranging if all other digits are zero.
2: The first manual range selected is the last range in the Auto-Ranging mode.
3: A flashing MSD with a non-zero display indicates the TC815 has entered the Extended Resolution Operating mode. An
additional 1000 counts of resolution is available. This extended operation is available only in manual operation for voltage,
resistance and current measurements.
