How to Use the Multimeter press to measure the frequency in AC voltage measurement mode. Measuring DC or AC Current Warning: Never attempt an in-circuit current measurement where the open-circuit potential to earth is greater than 250 V. Doing so will cause damage to the oscilloscope meter and possible electric shock or personal injury.
How to Use the Multimeter Disconnect the circuit path to be tested. Connect the black test lead to one side of the circuit (with a lower voltage); connect the red test lead to the other side (with a higher voltage). Reversing the leads will produce a negative reading, but will not damage the oscilloscope meter.
How to Use the Multimeter measurement scales. 2. Press to switch into AC Voltage measurement,then press 、 to select mV、V or Hz/V,and then press up and down measurement scales. 3. Press to switch into DC Current measurement,then press to select uA、mA or A,and then press to up and down measurement scales.
How to Use the Multimeter When the condition is met for being outside the range: If the current measurement value displayed on the main screen is outside the comparison range, it will be considered as a pass. When the condition is met for being outside the range: If the current measurement value displayed on the main screen is inside the comparison range, it will be considered as a fail.
