Menu Example 3: Configuring the DMM for a Measurement

This example uses the internal DMM for a measurement. It can be used

with any of the multiplexer modules (34921A, 34922A, 34923A, 34924A,

or 34925A). If you have disabled your internal DMM, don't have one

installed in your 34980A, or are not using a multiplexer module, skip

this example.

1 Make sure you have a multiplexer module installed in slot 1. Select

any channel on this module (the channel number is shown in green

channel field on display).

2 Within the Configure key group, press DMM to set the measurement

parameters for the internal DMM. Note that the DMM key lights.

3 Using the knob to navigate through the menu choices, select the AC

VOLTS function.

4 Press the lighted DMM key to accept the ac voltage function.

5 Using the knob, select 10V, which indicates the range parameter for ac

voltage.

6 Press EXIT MENU to save your selections (ac voltage, 10 volt range)

and immediately exit the menu. All unmodified parameters within the

menu remain unchanged.
