Changing the
Measurement
Function
In the power-on state, DC voltage measurements are selected and the
multimeter automatically triggers and selects the range. In the power-on
state, you can make DC voltage measurements simply by connecting a DC
voltage to the input terminals as shown in Figure 4. The connections shown
in Figure 4 also apply for AC voltage, 2-wire resistance, AC+DC voltage,
digitizing, and frequency or period measurements from a voltage input
source. Refer to Chapter 3 for a CAUTlON concerning the multimeter's
maximum input voltage and current.
The row of keys located directly under the display (FUNCTION keys) select
the multimeter's standard measurement functions. Table 4 shows the
FUNCTION keys and the measurement function selected by each.
