4. Read the measurement value
The multimeter measures the input signal according to the current
measurement settings and displays the measurement result on the
screen. If the reading exceeds the threshold, “ open ” will be displayed.
5. Evaluate the results of a measurement
Reverse the probes and measure the forward voltage drop on the diode
again. Evaluate the diode according to the following rules:
•
If the Multimeter displays “open” when in the reverse bias model, it
indicates that the diode is normal.
• If the Multimeter shows voltage about 0V and the instrument beeps
persistently when in forward and reverse bias model, it indicates that
the diode is short.
•
If the Multimeter shows “open” when in the forward and reverse
model, it indicates that the diode is open.
6. Perform the math operation (advanced)
You can perform the math operation (Statistics, Limit) on every
measurement reading. For details, please refer to “ Math Operations ”.
7. Display the graph (advanced)
You can analyse the measurement data by using the “Bar Meter”, “Trend
Char” or “Histogram display”. For details, please refer to “ Display Mode ”.
Before testing continuity remember to disconnect the DUT power and
discharge all of the DUT capacitors, to avoid damage to the Multimeter.
