5.4. Medida de resistencia

1. Connect the black test lead to the 'COM' jack and the red test lead to the 'VΩ+' jack.
2. Asegúrese de que el circuito esté desenergizado.
3. Touch the test probes across the component to measure resistance. The meter will display the resistance value.

5.5. Medición de corriente (CA/CC)

1. Para baja corriente (mA): Connect the black test lead to 'COM' and the red test lead to 'VΩ+'.
2. Para alta corriente (10 A): Connect the black test lead to 'COM' and the red test lead to the '10A' jack.
3. Abra el circuito donde se va a medir la corriente e inserte el medidor en serie.
4. The meter will automatically detect AC or DC current and display the reading.

5.6. Medición de capacitancia
