5 Measure/DMM Operation Introduction Introduction This chapter supplies instructions on how to operate the Measure/DMM function of the Product. About the Measure Function The Measure function lets the user quickly measure a single channel. To use this function, push  on the front panel. The Measure function operates similarly to the Monitor function and has the same graphing and statistic features. For information on how to use this function, refer to the instructions in the Monitor section in Chapter 4. To use the Measure function, channels must first be configured in Channel Setup (see Chapter 3). Any channel configured and turned on in Channel Setup can be quickly selected for measurement in Measure mode. The selected channel is then measured continuously. Trigger sources are ignored. About the DMM Function The DMM is a digital multimeter feature lets users quickly connect test leads to the frontpanel to make voltage, resistance, current, and temperature measurements. It is not necessary to configure the front channel in Channel Setup to use the DMM function. To use this function, push  then . To return to the Measure function, push  to show the Options menu, then push . As these measurements are taken, these measurements values are shown on the screen and can also be recorded to file. These recorded files are referred to as DMM Data files. Note The DMM function is an individual function of the Product that does not read or share configuration information with channel 001 in the channel list. For example, use of the DMM feature does not automatically configure and set channel 001 to ON in the Channel Setup menu. Figure 5-1 shows an example of a front-panel input configuration.

Introduction
This chapter supplies instructions on how to operate the Measure/DMM function of the
Product.
About the Measure Function
The Measure function lets the user quickly measure a single channel. To use this
function, push
