snap on graphing meter hidden measurement option was created by chris85
anybody else found hidden measurements in the snap on graphing meters? I found this on the old modis and vantage pro. i looked up a 2001 vw golf, abs, front wheel speed sensor. under the test tab, and ac voltage test. the meter comes up with a volts dc rms?? shows the dc voltge or ac voltage with out changing the setting on the digital reading. the graph shows a dc voltage line and ac voltage line, not the waveform. not sure where this would be useful, but it is neat. anybody else find any hidden measurements? wonder why snap on doesn’t make this a normal option in the meter?

So you're saying it displays two voltage measurements on one channel?
I'll have to go look into my Verus and Vantage now

i used a tone generator like the phone guys use for tracing wires. put it on continuity setting which puts out straight dc, and it said like 8 volts. switched it to tone mode, which is an ac signal, and it showed an ac voltage reading of like 2.5 volts and the graph showed the min max of the ac reading, not the ac waveform. kinda hard to explain. but it is pretty neat. makes me wonder what other special setting there are hidden in the component test section.
