A quick way to check for shorted or open junctions is to reverse the test
leads. If the junction indicates the same in-scale reading both directions, it is
probably shorted. If the junction indicates an overrange both directions, it is
open.

1.
Select range and function
(any measurement function:
V, A, Ω, S, Hz, dB or ).
2.
Heed input overload limits (Table 2-2),
connect test leads and take desired
measurement (example shows a 1.5000V
measurement has been taken and displayed):
3.
Press the REL button to store the next measured value
as relative reference (display becomes zero and the REL
indicator is displayed). The stored reference is subtracted
from subsequent measurements:
4. To cancel the relative reference, press REL.
The REL
indicator disappears and the original measurement
value is reestablished:
