14 With Channel 1014 selected, press Channel (in the Measure key group). The
Channel key lights, the required relays automatically close, and measurements
begin.
15 With the Channel key still lighted, turn the knob to display channel 1016. You
should see measurements start for DC VOLTS (your previously configured
function for channel 16).
16 With the Channel key still active, turn the knob between channels 1016 and
1014 to monitor the measurement results for each channel. As you pass
Channel 1015, which is not configured for a measurement, notice that the
associated channel relay is open and measurement is off.
17 Press Channel so the light is off. Notice that Monitoring is now turned off, but
you can continue to view the measurement parameters on channels 1014 and
1016.
During This Tutorial Example:
– You configured channel 16 for dc voltage measurements, then started, viewed
results, and stopped continuous dc voltage measurements on channel 16.
– You configured channel 14 for ac voltage measurements, then started, viewed
results, and stopped continuous ac voltage measurements on channel 14.
– You scrolled between channels 14 and 16 to alternatively start, monitor, and
stop continuous measurements on the channels.
