Section 4: Making basic front-panel measurements

Device connections

Connect the DMM7510 to the resistor in a 2-wire (local sense) configuration. In this configuration, the
device is connected between the INPUT HI and INPUT LO terminals.
To make the connections:
1. Power off the DMM7510.
2. Connect the test leads to the front-panel INPUT HI and INPUT LO terminals, as shown in the
following figure.
3. Connect the test leads to the resistor.

Basic front-panel measurements

The following procedures show you how to make a measurement, access settings for the
measurement, and view measurement data in a reading buffer.
You can make measurements continuously or manually. When you make continuous measurements,
the instrument makes measurements as quickly as possible. When you make manual measurements,
the instrument makes measurements when you press the TRIGGER key.
To make a measurement from the front panel:
1. Press the POWER switch on the front panel to turn on the instrument.
2. From the Functions swipe screen, select 2W Ω. Measurements begin to display on the top half of
the home screen.
3. If measurements are not displayed, press the TRIGGER key for a few seconds and select
Continuous Measurement.
