M2 Scope/Meter M2 Scope/Meter Operations
8.3.4 Continuity and Diode Check
This setting allows you to perform circuit continuity tests, and perform a forward drop test to check
the operation of a diode.
Figure 8-9 Continuity and diode check selected
The S key is the only soft key that is operational in continuity and diode mode. Pressing the S key
switches between the continuity test and diode test settings. Continuity is the default setting.
When testing continuity, the M2 Scope/Meter sounds a beep if a short circuit is detected
(continuity between the two test leads).
When testing a diode, the M2 Scope/Meter induces a current to the device under test and
measures the resultant voltage drop across the device.
8.3.5 Auxiliary
This selection allows you to select between three auxiliary tests; current (amperes), temperature,
and pressure. Approved probes, sensors, and transducers must be used in order to obtain valid
measurements.
