To Monitor a Single Channel
You can use the Monitor function to continuously take readings on a
single channel, even during a scan. This feature is useful for
troubleshooting your system before a test or for watching an important
signal.
1 Select the channel to be monitored.
Only one channel can be monitored at a time but you can change the
channel being monitored at any time by turning the knob.
2 Enable monitoring on the selected channel.
Any channel that can be "read" by the instrument can be monitored (the
MON annunciator turns on). This includes any combination of
temperature, voltage, resistance, current, frequency, or period
measurements on multiplexer channels. You can also monitor a digital
input port or the totalizer count on the multifunction module.
To disable monitoring, press
