Divider Menu Screen
The “Divider” menu allows the selection of the available divider voltage ratios
and displays the current status of the measurement configuration. On the display
you will see the status of the configuration indicated in green, signifying the
active measurement configuration.
This “Divider” operation mode is typically used with a Zener voltage reference to
generate lower voltages. The “Divider” mode is also desirable when dividing
down a programmable or arbitrary voltage source when not compared to a
reference voltage cell. This operation mode offers flexibility and simplicity to
work with non-decade values of voltage.
When calibrating working voltage references, or Digital Multi-Meters (DMMs),
or Volt-Meters the “Divider” mode is used.
You can touch the desired ratio button to engage the configuration. The line will
turn green and the Open button will turn white. You should always disengage a
configuration before engaging a new configuration. Selecting the “Open” button
will disengage all measurement configurations and return the active green
highlighted range back to white.
