Making a DC Current Measurement
To measure a DC current which is less than 600 mA , do the following:
1) Press the A key and then DC appears on the screen. The unit on the main reading screen is mA.
Press F2 to switch the measurement between mA and 10A. 600mA is acquiescently.
2) Insert the black lead into the COM banana jack input and the red lead into the mA banana jack
input.
3) Connect the red and black leads to the measured points and the DC current value of measured
points will be displayed on the screen.
Then, the screen will look like the following figure 7-8.
