"Holding" Measurements when Probes are out of Range

In some situations, you may not be able to stand in one spot and receive signals from your indoor and outdoor probes at the same time. In this situation there is a "Hold" button at the right top corner of the Indoor Measurements and Outdoor Measurements pages. By clicking the "Hold" button, measureQuick holds the measurements received from the probes for that respective page. Once the measurements are held, you can then walk out of range of those probes and the measurements will stay indefinitely. The thing you need to be aware of is that as the conditions change indoors or out, the measurements will not. So when you take your Test In or Test Out snapshot, make sure the held measurements are still accurate because whatever mQ sees when you hit Save Test In or Save Test Out is what you will see on the report weather they're "Held" measurements or live.
