6 Operating the instrument
The instrument features technology that detects the plug position of the test
leads and selects the measuring function based on that:
- in voltage mode, the instrument automatically detects the relevant
measuring range and measurement type AC or DC.
- in RCDC mode, the instrument automatically detects whether
resistance, capacitance, diode test and continuity need to be measured
and adjusts the measuring range accordingly.
- in current mode, the instrument automatically detects the relevant
measuring range as well as AC/DC, and differentiates between A and
mA / µA measuring modes (automatic jack detection).
All the available measuring modes can also be selected manually.
