To stop the continuous measurements, press Channel again. Note that
as you press Channel, you will hear the relays automatically opening.
12 Using steps 1 through 6 on the previous page, set the following
configuration for Channel 1014 (for this example, don't change any
other measurement parameters):
• Channel: 1014
• Measurement Function: AC Volts
• Range: 1V
13 Press EXIT MENU to accept the new settings and retain all other
parameters in this menu.
14 With Channel 1014 selected, press Channel (in the Measure key
group). The Channel key lights, the required relays automatically
close, and measurements begin.
15 With the Channel key still lighted, turn the knob to display channel
1016. You should see measurements start for DC VOLTS (your
previously configured function for channel 16).
16 With the Channel key still active, turn the knob between channels 1016
and 1014 to monitor the measurement results for each channel. As you
pass Channel 1015, which is not configured for a measurement, notice
that the associated channel relay is open and measurement is off.
17 Press Channel so the light is off. Notice that Monitoring is now turned
off, but you can continue to view the measurement parameters on
channels 1014 and 1016.
During This Tutorial Example:
• You configured channel 16 for dc voltage measurements, then started,
viewed results, and stopped continuous dc voltage measurements on
channel 16.
• You configured channel 14 for ac voltage measurements, then started,
viewed results, and stopped continuous ac voltage measurements on
channel 14.
• You scrolled between channels 14 and 16 to alternatively start,
monitor, and stop continuous measurements on the channels.
