CAUTION
: Always observe the MultiScope LCD display for overload conditions. If an
overload occurs, the MultiScope software displays the maximum value for the range
selected. It does not indicate an overload on the PC screen. i.e. If the 40V range was
held and a voltage greater than 40V was applied to the test leads, the PC display will
indicate “40.00”, not “OL” or the actual voltage. To avoid this condition, Autoranging is
recommended
