Measurement and Test Functions
- AC and DC voltage measurement
- Automatic AC/DC voltage recognition at the 600V range
- Resistance, capacitance and frequency measurement
- Low-pass filter voltage measurement
- Non-contact voltage detection
- Diode and continuity testing
- Peak capture and maximum/minimum measurement
