2.7 Diode Measurements
DL-1060 uses a current source of 1 mA for diode testing. The maximum resolution is
10 μV on a fixed range of 1 V DC. The default threshold voltage is fixed between 0.3
and 0.8 volts and the reading rate is fixed at 0.1 PLC (The voltage bound is adjustable
from 0.01V up to 1.2V.). The meter beeps when the diode measured value is in the
range.
The positive end of the diode should be connected to HI of the
input terminals, and the negative end to LO.
How to measure diode
1.
Connect the diode to the terminals. For forward bias, connect the probe from input
terminal “HI” to the positive end of the diode, and connect the probe from input
terminal “LO” to the negative end of the diode as shown in
Figure 2-9
.
2.
Press SHIFT + CONT (
) buttons to select the diode testing function.
3.
Set voltage bound by pressing SHIFT+CONT buttons and then pressing CONFIG.
When ready, press ENTER. (Or skip this step to use the default voltage bound.)
4.
Observe and take readings on the display.
