If storage has been started, MEM is incremented. A change of function is impossible, and an attempt is reported by a low-
pitched  beep.  Only  the  SETUP  menu  can  still  be  opened.  The  acquisition  in  progress  must  be  stopped  (press  MEM)  to 
modify a parameter, a function, or a configuration. 
 

4.2.4. 

Range key : Management of ranges 

 

Three operating modes can be accessed by the key:

 :  

-

 

the AUTO mode   

 

[F1] 

-

 

the AUTO Pk mode 

  

[F2]  

-

 

the MANUEL mode 

  

[F3] 

 

 

When  a  measurement  is  being  acquired,  the  AUTO  mode  is  active  as  default 

and range selection is managed automatically by the multimeter. 

 

To  limit  the  risk  of  measurement  instability,  the  100mV  range  is  not  managed  in  the 

AUTO 

mode, but only in the 

MANUAL

 mode. 

 

 

In the AUTO PEAK mode, changes of range occur only when the acquisition of a 

higher peak makes a higher range necessary. 

 

The AUTO PEAK mode is available only on AC and AC+DC measurements in V and 

A. It avoids the untimely overshoot of the peak factor specified for the instrument. 

 

 

When  the  MANUAL  mode  is selected and it is valid for the function concerned, 

the 

 keys of the navigator allow a change of the measurement range. 

Measurements concerned: voltage, current (in series or clamp), resistance, capacitance 
 

 

Communication interfaces 

4.3.

 
The multimeter can communicate with a PC, making it possible: 

-

 

to update the embedded software 

 Connect the multimeter to the computer via the USB link and run the application 

downloaded from the CHAUVIN ARNOUX web site. 

-

 

to calibrate the multimeter using the optional SX-MTX 329X calibration software (HX0059B). 

-

 

to program using Labview and Labwindows 

-

 

to recover the data or program the device using the SX-DMM software (USB, Bluetooth) 

 
The multimeter (Bluetooth version) communicates with smartphones and tablets, making it possible: 

-

 

to track and display the history of measurements via the ASYC IV DMM application, which can be downloaded free from 
Google Play Store. 

 

Your multimeter includes: 

-

 

an isolated optical USB link (type HX0056Z) 

-

 

SX-DMM processing software 

-

 

Labview and Labwindows drivers to program the devices. 

  

It is also possible to program the instrument using the SCPI or MODBUS protocol.
