Temperature Measurement 
The GDM-8342 can measure temperature using a thermocouple. To 
measure temperature, the DMM accepts a thermocouple input and 
calculates the temperature from the voltage fluctuation. The 
thermocouple type and reference junction temperature are also 
considered. Temperature measurement is only supported on the 
GDM-8342. 
 
To make temperature measurements, press 
SHIFT → Hz/P (TEMP).  
The temperature mode appears showing the 
temperature on the primary display and the 
type of sensor on the secondary display.
