Making Basic Measurements

Preparation and Caution Before Measurement
: Observe the rules of
When connecting the test leads to the DUT (Device Under Test) connect
the common (mA) test lead before connecting the live lead. When
removing the test leads remove the live test lead before removing the
common test lead.
The figures on the following pages show how to make basic
measurements.

High Frequency Reject mode
The HFR mode makes the voltage pass through a low pass filter to
reject the high frequency. The –3dB point of the low pass filter is 800
Hz. When the rotary switch is in V, mV position, the HFR mode can be
used. To use HFR mode, select AC or AC+DC mode and press the HFR
button.
