Basic operation
Selecting operating modes
Most front panel keys have a dual operation or function. The nomenclature on a key
indicates its primary or unshifted function or operation. The nomenclature in blue above a
key indicates its shifted function or operation. To select a primary function press the
corresponding key. To select a shifted function, press SHIFT first and then the desired key.
For example, press DCV1 to select the Channel 1 voltage measurement function. Press
SHIFT then MX+B to choose the mX + b function.
Making voltage measurements
The basic procedure to make voltage measurements is provided in Table 1. It assumes that
the DUT is already connected to the Model 2182 as explained in
Basic connections .
Making temperature measurements
The basic procedure to make temperature measurements is provided in Table 2. It assumes
that the DUT is already connected to the Model 2182 as explained in
Basic connections .

Voltage measurement procedure
Procedure Details
1. Connect DUT. See Figure 4 or Figure 5 for Channel 1 or 2.
2. Select channel and function. Press DCV1 to measure voltage on Channel 1.
Press DCV2 to measure voltage on Channel 2.
3. Select range. Use RANGE and keys to manually select
range. Or press AUTO RANGE (AUTO annuncia-
tor on) to enable auto range.
4. Take readings from display. Observe the voltage reading on the front panel.
