34134A.book Page 7 Wednesday, March 25, 2009 4:09 PM 34134A AC/DC DMM Current Probe Operation Operation 1 Connect the probe to the multimeter or other instrument. CAUTION Be sure to observe the polarities: red = positive terminal, black = common terminal. 2 Select the multimeter range which best corresponds to the measured current. For better reading stability, you may use the DMM 2 Volt range and let the probe “warm up” for one minute before zeroing.
