Diode Measurements - Picotest M3510A User Manual

the meter has been turned off. The source current for the continuity
measurement is 1 mA.
Warning! The maximum input voltage allowed is 1000 V. Applying
excess voltage may damage the meter and cause unpredictable hazards.
How to measure the continuity
1. Connect the test leads to the terminals on the front panel.
2. Connect test leads to your source signal.
3. Set threshold resistance (Refer to 4.1.4) or skip this step to use the
default resistance.
4. Press CONT button.
5. The result will be shown on the display automatically. Meter "beeps"
when measured resistance value is lower than threshold value.

3.7 Diode Measurements

M3510A/11A uses a current source of 1 mA for diode testing. The
maximum resolution is 10 µV on a fixed range of 1 V DC. The default
threshold voltage is fixed between 0.3 and 0.8 volts and the reading rate
is fixed at 0.2 PLC (The voltage bound is adjustable from 0.01V up to
1.2V.). The meter beeps when the diode measured value is within the
range.
Warning! The positive end of the diode should be connected to HI of
the input terminals, and the negative end to LO.
How to measure diode
1. Connect the diode to the terminals. For forward bias, connect the
probe from input terminal "HI" to the positive end of the diode, and
connect the probe from input terminal "LO" to the negative end of
the diode.
2. Press SHIFT+CONT buttons to select the diode testing function.
