9.3.4 Measurement Type Selection
This multimeter can be used to measure AC voltage, DC voltage, resistance,
AC electricity, DC electricity, diode, and connectivity.
The measurement types include:
Measures the voltage in the electrical circuit.
Measures the resistance of the electrical circuit
or the component.
Measures current amperage by using the
optional current clamp.
Conducts a diode test of the electrical circuit.
Determines whether a low impedance exits two
points in the electrical circuit. If the impedance is
less than 100 ohms, the circuit is “closed”,
otherwise, the circuit is “open”.
NOTE
1. AC/DC current is measured with clamps, while AC/DC voltage, diode
and connectivity are measured with probes.
2. When selecting the Resistance measurement type, the self-calibration
mark will display after Resistance, indicating the multimeter will
return to zero in order to improve accuracy.
3. When measuring AC/DC current, different measuring ranges require
different operations of the clamp (see Figure 9-3). Tap no more to hide
