Operating from the Front Panel
This section shows you how to make a simple DC voltage measurement, how to
use the various front panel keys, and describes the multimeter functions
important to front panel operation. Figure 2-3 shows the multimeter's front panel
features.

Making a measurement
In the power-on state, DC voltage measurements are selected and the multimeter
automatically triggers and selects the range. In the power-on state, you can make
DC voltage measurements simply by connecting a DC voltage to the input
terminals as shown in Figure 2-4. The connections shown in Figure 2-4 also apply
for AC voltage, 2-wire resistance, AC+DC voltage, digitizing, and frequency or
period measurements from a voltage input source. Refer to Chapter 3 for a
CAUTlON concerning the multimeter's maximum input voltage and current.
