– Part 3, Meter

BOUT

ETER

The

Meter

can be used for quickly checking any device producing a signal that

is measurable with MC6-Ex. For calibration needs, use one the calibration re-
lated main functions available in MC6-Ex.

Start the Meter by tapping the Meter icon in MC6-Ex's Home View (see adja-
cent picture). A window like the one on the lower right corner of this page
opens. To measure a signal, do as follows:



Select the

Quantity

of the signal by tapping one of the nine buttons on

the lower part of the Meter window.



Other, Quantity dependent settings appear on top of the Meter window.

For information on connections and essential settings, see

Part 2, Active Ter-

minals and Connections
