Section 5 — Set Measurement Options

Assign Sensors to Channels
You will need to specify which sensor is assigned to each channel. When
you take a measurement, the instrument will detect which sensor is
being used, offer you the appropriate measurement unit, and the overall
scaling options to display on your screen.
If you unplug a sensor in order to take a different type of measurement
(e.g. if you swap an accelerometer for a current sensor), you will need to
assign this new sensor to the channel.
To assign a sensor to a channel:
1. Open the main menu.
2. Press Options.
3. Press Sensor Setup > Press Change Sensor beside your
chosen measuring channel.
NOTE: If this is a new sensor that has NOT yet been defined in the
instrument, you will need to create a sensor definition before you
can assign it to a channel. See Defining and Editing Sensors.
4. Use the arrow keys to select a sensor > Press to assign it to the
measuring channel you selected.
5. Press a key on the left beside your required channel to enable it for
measuring — The channel will be labeled Enabled to indicate you
can now use it to take measurements.
6. Press twice to return to the main menu.
NOTE: You can enable as many channels as required.
