Scope Multimeter Operations
Digital Multimeter Options
The following options are available for testing:
• Volts DC
• Volts DC Average
• Volts AC RMS
• Ohms
• Diode/Continuity
• Low Amps (20)
• Low Amps (40)
• Low Amps (60)
Presets
Presets are factory configured meter settings for common component tests. Selecting opens a list
of available setups. Selecting from the list opens the scope multimeter configured to perform the
selected test. In addition to the factory presets, you can create your own custom meter
configurations and save them as presets.
8.3.2 Measurement Out of Range
A group of arrows display when a measurement is out of range for the scale selected:
• Arrows pointing UP—measurement over maximum range
• Arrows pointing DOWN—measurement under minimum range
Voltage measurements also display arrows in place of live values when the voltage exceeds the
input rating of the meter.
Risk of electrical shock.
• Do not exceed voltage limits between inputs as indicated on the rating label.
• Use extreme caution when working with circuits that have greater than 40 volts AC or
24 volts DC.
Electrical shock can cause personal injury, equipment damage, or circuit damage.
If arrows are displayed in the live voltage values, discontinue circuit testing.
Correct an out-of-range condition by selecting a scale setting appropriate for the signal being
sampled. See “Trace Controls” on page 100 for more information.
8.3.3 Scope and Multimeter Setup
The following sections explain how to adjust the scope and multimeter for the specific type of
signal being sampled. Most of these setup operations are available from the toolbar.
