6.2 Fungsi Pangukuran

The 61-747 meter offers a variety of measurement capabilities:

• AC/DC Current (A~, A--): Paké clamp head to measure current up to 400 Amps. Open the clamp by pressing the lever, encircle a single conductor, and release the lever to close the clamp.
• AC / DC Voltage (V~, V--): Connect test leads to the circuit. Measures up to 600V.
• Résistansi (Ω): Connect test leads across the component.
• Kontinuitas (♫): Connect test leads across the circuit. An audible tone indicates continuity.
• Kapasitansi (CAP): Connect test leads across the capacitor.
• Uji dioda (♫): Connect test leads across the diode.
• Frékuénsi (Hz): Can be measured in conjunction with voltage atawa ayeuna.
• Suhu (°F/°C): Connect the K-Type thermocouple to the meter's input jacks.
