11.4 Measurements with the multimeter
11.4.1 AC/DC voltage measurement
1. Push
DMM
button on the front panel. Select
Current
in the bottom menu, select it again to
switch between
ACA
(AC current) or
DCA
(DC current).
2. Connect the black test lead to the
COM
terminal on the top of the oscilloscope and the red test
lead to the
V/Ω/C
terminal.
3. Probe the test points and read the display.
11.4.2 AC/DC current measurement
1. Push
DMM
button on the front panel. Select
Current
in the bottom menu, select it again to
switch between
ACA
(AC current) or
DCA
(DC current).
2. Insert the current ext module provided with the oscilloscope into the COM terminal and
V/Ω/C
terminal on the top of the oscilloscope.
3. Connect the black test lead to the
COM
terminal
on the top of the oscilloscope. Connect the
red test lead to the
mA
terminal.
4. Turn off the power of the measured circuit. Discharge all high- voltage capacitors.
5. Disconnect the circuit path to be tested. Connect the black test lead to one side of the circuit
(with a lower voltage); connect the red test lead to the other side (with a higher voltage).
Reversing the leads will produce a negative reading, but will not damage the multimeter.
6. Turn on the power of the measured circuit, and read the display.
7. Turn off the power of the measured circuit and discharge all high-voltage capacitors. Remove
the test leads and restore the circuit to the original condition.
11.4.3 Resistance measurement
1. Press the DMM button on the front of the device. Then press R in the lower menu several
times to toggle between resistance, diode and capacitance until R is highlighted.
2. Connect the black test lead to the
COM
terminal
on the top of the oscilloscope and the red test
lead to the
V/Ω/C
terminal.
3. Connect the test probes to the (voltage-free) electrical conductor to be measured and read
the measured value on the digital display of the multimeter window.
Note: Never carry out a resistance measurement on a live conductor to avoid damaging the
device.
