Parameters
Range, Null value
Basic measurement:
1. Connect test leads as Figure 1-14 shown. Red test lead connects the HI Terminal,
Black test lead connects the LO Terminal.
2. Press to select the DC Current measurement function.
3. According to the current measuring scope, choose the correct range.
4. Set the Null value
Null computing will be an option operation, could be setup in accordance with
user demand. If user does not implement Null computing, this parameter is not
required, direct implementation of the next step.
(To know the specific setting methods of the Null value setting, please refer to
Chapter 2 “To Set Up Measurement Parameters”, Null computing)
