¶ Basic Operating Instructions
This is used basically like a big multimeter. For 2 wire measurements the probes are connected to the Volts/2WΩ/4WΩ connectors; red at the top, black at the bottom. (For 4 wire resistance measurements the additional sense probes are connected to the sense terminals immediately to the left.
The function buttons for DC volts, AC volts, 2 wire resistance, and 4 wire resistance will be the most often used.
