The SINGLE menu option for the CLOSE key can be used to select a measurement chan-

NOTE If the “CLOSE:MULTI” message is instead displayed when CLOSE is pressed,
it indicates that there are no measurement modules installed in the mainframe.
See “Multiple channel operation,” page 2-15, to close the channels of a non-
measurement module (i.e., Model 7705).

4. Press ENTER. The channel closes and the CHAN annunciator turns on.
An invalid channel cannot be closed and will cause one of the following error messages to
be briefly displayed:
INVALID CHAN — This message indicates that the channel is not a valid measurement
channel. The following actions will cause this error:
• Trying to close a non-measurement channel, such as a backplane isolation channel,
a channel that sets the pole mode, or a channel that cannot be internally connected
to the DMM.
• Trying to close an amps channel while on a non-amps function. The DCI or ACI
function must be selected in order to close an amps channel.
• Trying to close a paired-channel while on a 4-wire function. For the Model 7700,
channels 1 through 10 are paired to channels 11 through 20 for a 4-wire function.
If, for example, you try to close channel 12 while on the Ω4 function, the INVALID
CHAN error will occur.
• Trying to close a switching module channel that does not exist.
