Making a
Measurement
In the power-on state, DC voltage measurements are selected and the
multimeter automatically triggers and selects the range. In the power-on
state, you can make DC voltage measurements simply by connecting a DC
voltage to the input terminals as shown in Figure 4. The connections shown
in Figure 4 also apply for AC voltage, 2-wire resistance, AC+DC voltage,
digitizing, and frequency or period measurements from a voltage input
source. Refer to Chapter 3 for a CAUTlON concerning the multimeter's
maximum input voltage and current.
Changing the
Measurement
Function
The row of keys located directly under the display (FUNCTION keys) select
the multimeter's standard measurement functions. Table 4 shows the
FUNCTION keys and the measurement function selected by each.
