Japanese term or phrase: 計測精度が切り替わること
I am working on a paper on magnetic material detectors and I am currently in the section of software requirement specification. The following point is listed among the functions of the software.

電源オン中、ミュート/計測精度選択ボタンのプッシュが1.5secを超えた場合、計測精度が切り替わること。

How do we translate "計測精度が切り替わること" here?

Will change the measurement precision


Explanation:
While the power is on holding the mute/measurement precision button for more than 1.5 seconds will change the measurement precision.

I am not very familiar with magnetic material detectors but a lot of multitesters have the ability to change precision. In other words at 5 V, they have 3 decimal points of precision while at 240 V, they don't have any decimal points.

Notes to answerer
Asker: That makes sense. I had been interpreting "切り替わる" as 'exchange' or 'switching between things' and so couldn't the hang of the sentence. Thank you
