Your multimeter is capable of remote data logging. To use this feature, you will need an IR-USB
N O T E
cable (U5481A, purchased separately) and the Agilent GUI Data Logger Software (downloadable
from www.agilent.com/find/hhTechLib).
Ensure that the terminal connections are correct for that particular measurement

selection before starting any measurement. To avoid damage to the device, do not
exceed the rated input limit.
Degradation of some product specifications can occur in the presence of ambient
C A U T I O N
electromagnetic (EM) fields and noise that are coupled to the powerline or I/O cables
of the instrument. The instrument will self-recover and operate to all specifications
when the source of ambient EM field and noise are removed or when the instrument
is protected from the ambient EM field or when the instrument cabling is shielded
from the ambient EM noise.
