Bargraph display
The 40 segment bargraph display shown below is a graphical interpretation of the
measurement. It is displayed under the display digits on the LCD.
The bars in the bargraph indicate a presence of an electronic signal. The more bars
showing, the higher the signal. The digits below the graph help the user see how many
bars are showing. If 40 segments are showing, the bars will reach the ‘40’ mark, if 20 bars
are showing the bars will reach the ‘20’ mark.
The bargraph is to be interpreted based on the range the meter is in while the
measurement is being made. If the bargraph shows 40 segments lit, then the signal is at
the highest end of the meter’s present range.
