Making an AC Current Measurement 
To measure an AC current which is less than 600 mA, do the following: 
1) Press the F1 key to select A and then DC appears on the screen. The unit on the main reading 
screen is mA,and mA will display on the bottom of the screen, press F2 to switch the measurement 
between mA and 10A. 600mA is acquiescently. 
2) Press the F2 key once and AC will display on the bottom of the screen. 
3) Insert the black lead into the COM banana jack input and the red lead into the mA banana jack  
input. 
4) Connect the red and black leads to the measured points and the AC current value of measured  
points will be displayed on the screen. 
Then, the screen will look like the following figure 7-10.
