Operation

This section explains Product operation. See Front and Rear Panel for key and
feature locations. Remote interface setups are explained in the Remote
Programmer's Manual. The first part of this section is general and applies to all
modes of operation.
Operating instructions are presented separately for each function.

Turn on the Product

To avoid electric shock, make sure that the Product is
grounded before use.
Before you turn on the Product, see Grounding the Product.
To turn on the Product, push in the power switch on the front panel. When the
Product is turned on, it takes approximately 20 seconds to complete its power-up
process. During the power-up process, the Product goes through a series of self-
tests. If a self-test fails, a prompt on the display identifies the failed test and
prevents further operation. If the test fails, contact Fluke Calibration.

Power-Up State

After passing the power-up self-tests, the Product goes into the power-up state.
When you turn on the power (with no input attached), the Product starts in DCV,
