How to Perform Measurement
Voltage Measurement
Figure 3-8 Unguarded Voltage Measurement Connection
Instead of connecting the inner shield (Common) of Voltmeter, a banana to
alligator clip cable can be used for connecting Common to low terminal of voltage
under test.
For floating voltmeter, do not connect any cable between Common and chassis
ground. See “Common Terminal Connection” on page 92 for more information.
Procedure You can perform the voltage measurement as follows.
Step 1. Press the View key and the Meter View function key to display the Meter view.
Step 2. Press the VOLTS (V) assist key to set the voltage measurement mode.
Step 3. Use the navigation keys or the RANGE function key to set the measurement
range you want to use. See “Measure Volts” on page 99 for more information.
Step 4. Use the navigation keys or the SPEED function key to set the measurement
speed (aperture time) you desire. See “Aperture Time” on page 99 for more
information.
