8-65. Logic Troubleshooting.
The Multirneter Logic

a. With

b. Connect the controller (U13) side of JM202 to

M203.
c. The display to indicate all zeros except when a
"Improper" switch combination is selected (Refer to
Section Ill).
8-66. If this test fails, there is a problem in the Logic
portion of the Multimeter. If it passes. the problem is
most likely to be in the Analog portion.
