The in.Wument can make TFNS AC voltage mez+rements
from 1pV to 3OOV. To m&Wire AC volts, proceed as follows:
1. Select the AC volts function by pressing the VOLTS and
AC buttons.
2. Select a range consistent with the expected voltage or
use autorange.
3. Select the front or rear panel input terminals using the
INPUT switch.
