3.6 OPTION 2
This packet contains information on the operation mode of the meter. The format is
shown below. The DC field indicates that the meter operates in DC measurement mode,
either voltage or current. The AC field indicates that the meter operates in AC
measurement mode, either voltage or current. The AUTO field is set to one if the meter
operates in automatic mode, and is set to zero when the meter operates in manual mode.

Miscellaneous
The conditions on which the meter turns on the buzzer include:
(1) Changing measurement mode generates one beep.
(2) Pressing any of the push functions generates one beep, if the function is valid.
(3) Power on and re-power on generate one beep.
(4) Input overflow in voltage and current mode generates one beep every 0.3 seconds
(or 3.33 beeps per second.)
(5) Continuity(diode) check generates a continuous 2KHz beep whenever the
measurement is less then 30Ω(30mV)
(6) Auto power off generates a 2KHz beep which lasts for 1.5 seconds.
The following figures show the output waveform from the BUZOUT pin.
