Measuring Current

The Analyzer can make dc only, ac only, and ac+dc
current measurements up to 10 mA. To make a current
measurement:
1. Press the softkey labeled Leakage from the

Point-To-Point menu.

2. Using

or  select between ac only, dc only, or

ac+dc measurement mode.

3. Insert test leads in the RED (V/

Ω

/A ) and BLACK

jacks.

4. Place the leads on the two points the unknown

current may flow and read the measurement in the
Analyzer’s display.

Simulating ECG Waveforms

The Analyzer is capable of generating various waveforms
on the applied parts connection posts. These signals are
used to test the performance characteristics of ECG
monitors and ECG strip printers. See Figure 34 for proper
connections between the Analyzer and an ECG monitor.
For monitors using the snap style connectors, insert the
BJ2ECG adapter into the connectors at the top of the
Analyzer and connect the monitor leads to the snap
connectors on the adapter.

Note

If the ECG monitor/interpreter has banana posts
instead of snaps, use the optional universal snap
to banana adapter to connect to the Analyzer.

To access the ECG Simulation Waveform menu shown in
Figure 33, press . From this menu, a number of
different waveforms are selected through F1, and the rate
or frequency of the waveform is selected through F2.
