Digital multimeter functions
To make basic measurements, the test leads must be connected to the
instrument following the input terminal connections shown in “Connect
the Test Leads to the Terminals” on page 6. Most basic measurements can
be made with the factory default settings.
Key Description
Press to cycle between the DC, AC, and AC+DC voltage measurement
functions.
Press to cycle between the DC, AC, and AC+DC current measurement
functions.
Press to select the resistance (2-wire) measurement function.
Press again to select the continuity test function.
Press Hz ms % to cycle between the frequency (Hz), pulse width (ms), and
duty cycle (%) measurement functions related to the voltage or current path.

[1] The voltage path is the default path when you select the frequency measurement function. To
switch to the current path for frequency, pulse width, and duty cycle measurements, first press
, then press Hz ms %.
Press to select the diode test function.
Press again to select the capacitance measurement function.
Press Shift > Lo Ω to select the low-resistance (4-wire) measurement
function.
