Instrument Configuration (SET-UP)

NOTE: The instrument is factory configured. For most measurements, simply choose the test
voltage and press the START/STOP button.
However, configuration can be performed by one of these two methods:
• The SET-UP function allows overall configuration of the instrument independently of which
measurement functions are chosen.
• The CONFIG button allows configuration of the chosen measurement function before and
during a measurement.
NOTE: A configuration made by either method, is updated for both (SET-UP function or CONFIG
button).
