At frequency measuring status, press Hz/DUTY one time then meter enters duty cycle measuring status, press it again then return to frequency measuring status. 9. Read the result directly from the display. N N O O T T E E : : In noisy environment, it is preferable to use shield cable for measuring small signal.
Page 15 5163440K_Instructions.qxd 18/09/2009 10:32 Page 15 Auto Range Digital Multimeter - USB Interface Current measurement To avoid damage to the meter or injury if the fuse blows, never attempt an in-circuit current measurement where the open-circuit potential to earth is greater than 250V. To avoid damage to the meter, check the meters fuse before proceeding.
