2-13. FRONT PANEL FEATURES
2-14. Before using your multimeter, take a few minutes
to become familiar with the use of the controls,
indicators, and connectors of the 8050A. The front panel
features are shown in Figure 2-1 and described in Table 2-
1. The features of the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) are
also described in the following paragraph.
2-15.
Display
2-16. The features of the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
are shown in detail in Figure 2-2. The position of the
floating decimal point is determined by the range selected
(for linear measurements). The maximum measurement
value that can be displayed is one count less than the
range selected (e.g., maximum measured voltage that can
be displayed in the 200 mV range would be 199.99 mV).
2-17. To extend the life of the LCD and to ensure that
the display will be ready to operate, observe the following
precautions:
• Do not store or use the instrument in temperatures
above or below those specified in Section 1.
• Do not store or use the instrument in humidity
above that specified in Section 1.
NOTE
Low temperatures (within the specified
operating limits) will cause the LCD response
to be sluggish.
• Avoid prolonged exposure of the LCD to direct
sunlight (ultraviolet).
2-18. SIGNAL INPUT LIMITS
CAUTION
Exceeding the maximum signal Input limits
can damage the Instrument.
