g) Split display – AC/DC
The split display functionality allows for displaying current along with voltage.
Split displays are only possible in <
> and <
> modes.
1. Select <
> mode or <
> mode.
2. Press the V+A/INRUSH button to trigger the split display. The below table summarizes the split display properties
for each mode after enabling it:

• Press the V+A/INRUSH again to terminate split display.
17. Measuring – Signal current µA
a) Introduction
You can use the multimeter to measure signal currents up to 2000 µA.
The µA current input is protected against overload with a resettable fuse. The fuse does not need to be
replaced in the event of an overload. The fuse components limit the current to prevent a defect.
b) Measuring procedure
1. Determine the type of current you intend to measure, then read the
corresponding section in this chapter before you proceed.
2. Set the multimeter to the required current mode as indicated in the
corresponding chapter.
3. Insert the red test lead into the
socket and the black test lead into
the COM socket.
4. Connect the two measuring probes in parallel to the object that you want to
measure (e.g. battery or circuit). The electrical circuit must be disconnected
before you connect the probes.
5. Reconnect the circuit.
6. Refer to the corresponding section on how the measured values are
displayed.
7. After measuring, disconnect the circuit and remove the test leads from the
measured object.
8. Switch the multimeter off.
