GRAPHICAL DISPLAY DESCRIPTION 1. The graphical mode is entered when the “MODE” key is pressed when the function switch is in the ACV, DCV, mV, ACA or DCA position 2. The amplitude (vertical) and time (horizontal) divisions are selected automatically when in the autoranging mode.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. High-voltage circuits, both AC and DC, are very dangerous and should be measured with great care. 1. ALWAYS set the power switch to the OFF position when the meter is not in use. 2.

mV HI-Z AC AND DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS 1. Turn the rotary switch to the mV/HI-Z. 2. Press F3 to toggle between AC and DC measurement. 3. Press the HELP key and then the F4 key to display procedures, cautions and connection diagrams regarding DCV measurements 4.
AC AND DC CURRENT MEASUREMENTS. 1. Turn the rotary switch to the AC/DC A position. 2. Press the HELP key and then the “F4” key to display procedures, cautions and connection diagrams regarding current measurements 3. Maximum allowed current is 20 Amps. Use a current clamp for larger currents.
HZ FREQUENCY MEASUREMENTS 1. Press the HZ key in the ACV, DCV, mV, or Amp function to change to the frequency display. The frequency related soft keys will appear on the display. 2. Frequency display soft-keys TRIG DUTY F1 “TRIG” trigger level The Trigger Level allows adjustment of the trigger level from 0 to 95% of the peak of the measured signal.
STORAGE FUNCTIONS 1. Press the STORAGE key to enter this feature. 2. The display will list four memory locations and indicate what type of data is stored in each location. Locations with no data will be left blank. 3. Press F1 to scroll the diamond cursor down through the 15 memory locations. 4.
(graphical soft key) The F2 left/right arrow key will “freeze” the waveform on the display and open a sub- menu which allows time scrolling. EXIT 1. Press F2 to freeze the graphical display. 2. Press the sub-menu F1 or F2 arrow keys to shift the waveform in time. 3.
SOFTWARE INSTRUCTIONS INSTALLATION Start Windows 95/98. Insert the program disk into drive A:. Select “START” and then “RUN” from the Windows menu bar. Type “A:\SETUP.EXE” in the OPEN box and select “OK” Follow the installation instructions on the screen. OPERATION Connect the RS-232 cable between the serial ports of the meter and the PC.
