Using Graphing Multimeter (GMM)
Making Connections
INPUT A is used for all GMM tests just except the RPM measurement. The probes and test leads to be used depend
on t he type of test performed. When you select cert ain GMM tests, a connect ion help screen will guide you by
pressing HELP ( ). This tells you which probe or test lead to use and where to connect it.

Vertical and Horizontal Scaling
The vertical and horizontal ranges in GMM displays are manually adjustable by using the Four Way arrow keys.
The vertical ranges available in GMM displays vary with the measurement being graphed, and generally cover the
possible output range of the measurement.
The time ranges available for GMM displays range from 5 sec. to 24 hrs. per display.
Auto-Power-Off will not occur during the GMM mode, but t o graph for periods of 5 min and longer, operate the
instrument from external power because operating endurance on internal power is limited to about 4 hours with fresh
batteries.
