Quick Start 1
Making Basic Measurements (34410A/11A)
This section introduces the many types of measurements that you can make
with your 34410A/11A multimeter, and how to make connections for each
measurement. Most basic measurements can be taken using the factory
default settings. A more complete description of all multimeter functions,
measurement parameter configuration and remote interface operation is
provided in Chapter 2.
For each measurement, connect the test leads as shown. The test lead
connections are the same for the front or rear set of terminals.
Before making test lead connections, use the Front/Rear button on the front
panel to select either the front or rear set of terminals. The Rear annunciator
lights if the rear terminals are selected.
Do not press the Front/Rear button while signals are present on either the front or rear
set of terminals. Switching while high voltages or currents are present can cause
instrument damage, and may increase the risk of electric shock.
For basic measurement connection information unique to the L4411A, refer to the L4411A
Getting Started Guide (p/n L4411-90001).
