9.3.4 Measurement Type Selection
This multimeter can be used to measure AC voltage, DC voltage, resistance,
AC electricity, DC electricity, diode, and connectivity.
The measurement types include:
Icon
Name
Description
AC voltage
Measures the voltage in the electrical circuit.
DC voltage
Resistance
Measures the resistance of the electrical circuit
or the component.
AC current
Measures current amperage by using the
optional current clamp.
DC current
Diode
Conducts a diode test of the electrical circuit.
Connectivity
Determines whether a low impedance exits two
points in the electrical circuit. If the impedance is
less than 100 ohms, the circuit is “closed”,
otherwise, the circuit is “open”.
NOTE
1.
AC/DC current is measured with clamps, while AC/DC voltage, diode
and connectivity are measured with probes.
2.
When selecting the
Resistance
measurement type, the self-calibration
mark
will display after
Resistance
, indicating the multimeter will
return to zero in order to improve accuracy.
3.
When measuring AC/DC current, different measuring ranges require
different operations of the clamp (see Figure 9-3). Tap
