Digital Voltmeter (DVM) 
 
The built-in DVM of this oscilloscope provides 3-digit voltage measurements on any 
analog channel. DVM measurements are asynchronous from the oscilloscope’s 
acquisition system and are always acquiring. 
 
Press Measure → Analyze → DVM to open the DVM setting menu, or enable the 
touch screen and then tap the function navigation icon    at the lower-left corner 
of the screen to open the function navigation. Then, tap the "DVM" icon to open the 
DVM  setting  menu.  You  can  also  press  Measure  →  Add,  then  in  the  displayed 
measurement category area, rotate the multifunction knob    to select "Analyze", 
and then select "DVM" to open the DVM setting menu. 
 
 
To Enable or Disable DVM Measurement 
 
In the "DVM" setting menu, press DVM continuously to enable or disable DVM 
measurement. When enabled, the following figure is displayed. The DVM display also 
has a scale that is determined by the channel's vertical scale and vertical offset. The 
scale range is the range of the screen. The scale's yellow triangle pointer shows the 
most recent measurement result. The specific value above the pointer shows the 
measurement extrema over the last 3 seconds. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Note: DVM measurement and the oscilloscope share the same probe, so the unit for 
the DVM measurement is consistent with that of the channel. 
 
 
To Select the Measurement Source 
 
Press Source in the "DVM" setting menu, then rotate the multifunction knob    to 
select the desired source. Press down the knob to select it. You can also press 
Source continuously or enable the touch screen to select it. The analog channel 
(CH1-CH4) can be selected to be the measurement source.
