with
3-1/2 digit
liquid
crystal
displays (LCDs).
The Multimeters
have the following
industry-standard
features:
•
Voltage measurements from
100
(xV to
lOOOV dc
and 10 mV to 750V true-rms ac.
•
Current
measurements
froml00nAto2Adcandl0
/uA
to
2A
true-rms
ac
(up to
lOA for the
8012A).
•
Resistance measurements
from
1 00 mO
(
1 mO for
the 8012A) to 20 MD.

special
measurement features:
•
Conductance
measurements up to
10,000 Mfl of
equivalent resistance.

to
turn on a PN junction for testing
diodes
and
transistors.
•
Automatic polarity
indication
and overrange
indication.
•
