Page 32: Measurement Configuration
Measurement Configuration Most measurement parameters are user-defined. Changing a measurement parameter will change the measurement precision and speed, as well as the input impedance. An appropriate measurement parameter based on the actual application will ensure faster measurement or higher measurement precision. The default measurement configurations of the multimeter can ensure the accuracy of the measurement results in most cases.
Page 33: Range
Range T3DMM6-5 provides auto and manual range selecting modes. In auto mode, the multimeter selects a proper range automatically according to the input signal. In manual mode, you can use the front panel key or menu key to set the range.
Page 34 Note: 1. “overload” will be displayed when the input signal exceeds the currently set range. 2. By default, the range is set to Auto at power-on or after a reset. 3. Auto mode is recommended if you are not sure about the measurement range in order to protect the instrument and obtain accurate data.

The scanner features 12 multi-purpose + 4 current channels and supports the following measurement functions: DCV, ACV, DCI, ACI, 2WR, 4WR, CAP, FREQ, DIODE, CONT and TEMP (RTD and Thermocouple).It provides a convenient and versatile solution...
Page 106 It provides a convenient and versatile solution for test applications that require multiple measurement points or signals and is an ideal tool for R&D burn-in and production testing. The scanner option is not available separately for the T3DMM6-5 or as an upgrade for the T3DMM6-5.
Page 107 1.Operations WARNING The T3DMM6-5-SC scanner is not designed to be “hot swappable”. Remove power from all inputs and turn the instrument power off before installation or removal of the scanner card. Hot swapping the card could cause damage and is not covered under the warranty.

The table below records the measurement result of each channel. 7.Enter trend chart and statistics mode (optional operation) Press to open trend chart and statistics function.
Page 112 Remote operations The T3DMM6-5-SC series can be controlled remotely by using the EasyDMM software. It allows users to easily select the measurement function and range for each channel and start acquiring measurement data. With a rich online help system, the user is able to create a virtual instrument on the PC for data collection and instrument control.
Page 113: True Rms Ac Measurement
Chapter 4: Measurement Tutorial True RMS AC Measurement The AC measurement of the Multimeter has a true RMS response. The power dissipated in a resistor within a time is proportional to the square of the measured true RMS voltage, independent of waveform shape. The instrument can accurately measure true RMS voltage or current, as long as the waveform shape contains negligible energy above the effective bandwidth.
Page 114: Crest Factor Errors (Non-Sinusoidal Inputs)
Crest Factor Errors (non-sinusoidal inputs) A common misconception is that "since an AC Multimeter is a true RMS, its sine wave accuracy specifications apply to all waveforms." The shape of the input signal can dramatically affect measurement accuracy. A common way to describe signal wave shapes is “crest factor”.
Page 115: Loading Errors (Ac Voltage)
Loading Errors (AC Voltage) In the AC Voltage function, the input of T3DMM6-5 appears as a 1MΩ resistance in parallel with 100pF of capacitance. The test lead that you use to connect signals to the Multimeter will also add additional capacitance and loading.
Page 116: Chapter 4: General Troubleshooting
The following is a list of issues that may arise while using the Multimeter and its solutions. Please use the corresponding steps when troubleshooting. If you are still unable to resolve, please contact Teledyne Test Tools. ➢ If the screen of the Multimeter is still dark with nothing displayed after pressing the power key: 1.
Page 117 3. Check if the capacity of the used USB disk is too large. The Multimeter is recommended not to use USB disks which exceed 8GB. 4. After restarting the instrument, insert the USB disk again to inspect. 5. If you still cannot use the USB disk properly, please contact Teledyne Test Tools.
Page 118 We suggest that the length of the USB data wire and LAN cable • connected to the instrument should be less than 3m to avoid affecting the product performance. All the accessories are available by contacting your local Teledyne • Test Tools office.
