The instrument is protected from channel configuration errors. For example, accidentally
applying 300V ac to a channel configured for resistance will not damage the instrument.

Configuring a Channel to Measure DC Volts

Perform the procedure in Figure 2-4 to configure a channel for measuring dc volts. In
preparation, the instrument must be in the inactive mode (not scanning or monitoring)
and the desired channel must be selected (see Figure 2-3). To exit at any time (changes
not saved), press the C key.
Restrictions
Maximum Input. The maximum voltage inputs are 300V dc for channels 0, 1, 11, and
150V dc for channels 2 to 10, and 12 to 20.
