P1, P2 and P3 are used to indicate whether the main parameter is qualified or not. If it is not
qualified, then OUT flag will be displayed on the Interface of Measurement Display (in the case of
turning on the comparator); then the sorting is completed. If it is qualified, P1~P3 will be
displayed 1/2/3 in the measurement display, and continue to execute secondary parameter
comparison. If the secondary parameter is set, and the secondary parameter is not in the range, it
