DIODE TESTING
NOTE: Do not use the diode test functionality while connected to a live circuit. Doing so will result in incorrect readings and may engage
the internal protection circuitry. Should this occur, wait 5 minutes before taking further measurements.
§
To test diodes or other silicon junction devices, a test current is
pushed through the device under test and the resulting voltage is
measured.
§
Positive test current flows out of the Ω terminal and into the C terminal.
The test current is 100µA.
