AC/DC Current (A) Selection of the ac or de current (A) function is described in Figure 2-10, The 060A offers five ac (true rms ae-coupled) and five de current ranges: 200 cA, 2 mA, 20 mA, 200 mA, 2000 mA. Each range is protected by a 2A, 250V fuse in series with & 3A/600V fuse, ‘When a meter is placed in series witha circuit to measure current, youmay have to consider an error caused by the voltage drop across the meter (inthis case, across the protective fuses and current shunts). This voltage drop is called the Durden voltage. The maximum full-scale burden voltages forthe 8060A are0.3V for the four lowest ranges and 0.9V for the highest range. ‘These voltage drops can affect the accuracy of @ current measurement if the ‘current source is unregulated and the resistanee of theshunt and fuses represents 4 significant part (1 1000 or more) ofthe source resistance. If burden voltage does present a problem, you can calculate the error by using the formula in Figure 2-11. You can minimize this error by selecting the highest current range that provides the necessary resolution, PaANMETER SHUNT Lead resistance + Source resistance sured ourrent (dieplay reading in amps) > = Burdon vottage (calcuated) Eb = meas. current [{200/current range in mA) +95] ERROR: Error in = 100 x Eb/(ES - Eb) Error in A= (Eb x Im)/(Es - ED) EXAMPLE Esa 15v I= 100 ka Im = 148.51 WA (14851 mA} > 48.5 x 10-8 (200.2) + 38] 148.51 x 10-* x 1000.95 = 148.56 mv a aucor inh = 100 x [148.56 mV/IISY - 14B56V)} = 1.0008% [Ads this to the range spec. accuracy: Max. error in = 1,0000% 1.2% + 2 digits) Max, etror in A = (148.98 m x 148.51 A)/(15000 mv - 148.58 mV) 1486 ys |Add 1.486 uA to the reading for correct current Figure 2-11.

Resistance (2) Selection of the resistance function is deseribed in igure 2-12. There are four Fined ranges (2000, 2 KO, 20 Kf, 200 KA) plus the autoranging MQ range consisting of three ranges: 2 MQ, 20 MA. and 300 M2. In al fixed resistance ranges (2000 co 200 KO), the test voltage is less than that required (0 turn on most semiconductor junctions. This feature, sometimes referred to 21 “low poner" ohms, aids in troubleshooting by allowing you to measure resistors independent of theelfets of in-citcut transistors and diodes, For the fixed ranges the maximum Tull scale voltage across the circuit being ‘measured is less than 250 mV. Theautoranging MO ranges have enough voltage to turn on semiconéuctor junctions (maximum 25V fullscale), but the current is very low (2.2 yA maximum) Resistance measurements forall ranges are made using a two-wire ratiometric technique. This means that test lead resisiance may affect the accurecy ip the 2001 range. You can correct this etror by shorting the test leads together, reading the test lea resistance. and then subtracting t {rom resistance readings. ‘The most convenient way to do this is with the relative funtion as described later in this section. This technique is also useful for removing the 0.020 error factor in the 2002 range (refer to resistance specifications in Section 1). 142-18 AUTORANGING MEGOHMS ‘When the autoranging MQ rangeissclected, the 8060 automaticaly selects the range appropriate Tor the measurement. The measurement resolution decreases in the two bigher MO ranges as shown in Table 2-3. Readings made at the crossover points between ranges are microcomputer-stabilized by an offset in the upscale and downscale directions. Renge changes are made at 2.00 MMand 20,00 Ml as readings go upscale, or at 19.0 M(1and 1,90 MO as readings go downseale, ‘Table 2-3.

To select this range, you must simultaneously press the MQ and the 2009 switches as shown in Figure 2-13. Like the autoranging MO. ranges, the autoranging KO ranges have enough voltage to turn on semiconductor junctions. Note that the use of the relative function with the futoranging kf ranges i restricted to the avtoranging KM ranges. Refer to the description of the relative function for more information.

Read the measured value on the display, 2:20. Conductance (8) Selection of the conductance function is described in Figure 2-14. The range is 2000 nS (nS = nanosiemens or 10% siemens. | siemen = 1/2) which corresponds to a resistance range from $00 kf to 10,000 MA. Conductance is a good way to measure high resistances, such as leakages in diodes, capacitors, pebs, or insulators. Far example, you can measure the conductance of a peb and then convert the measurement 10 resistance by referring to Figure 3-15. If you are measuring the leakage of acapacitor, besure 10 discharge i Trst by shorting ts leads together, The positive (+) lead of polatized capacitors should be connected to the VAS inp. a6-n8-TO-Ma 2000 nS RANGE {tooaas = Ma ns Ma "soa 2000 5 og 1000 1 5 £200 500 $2 2 00 mes + € 1000 10 F 0 5 +200 50 20 2 + 5000 eee +L re.000 10 © 100 CONVERSION SCALES *S = SIEMENS = 1/01 = INTERNATIONAL UNIT (OF CONDUCTANCE FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE MHO.

Subsequent measurements are displayed as the difference between the measured value ang the stored relative reference (refer to Figure 2-17) For example, if reading of 1,0000V de is displayed when the REL button is pressed (the display will read 0.0000 after REL is pressed, subsequent readings ‘will have | 0008 subtracted from hem, If the next measurement is 2700 de, the reading displayed will be 2700. Ifthe next measurement is 0.8500V de, the reading displayed will be -.1300, You may cancel the relative reference by pressing the REL button (the REL indicator disappears from the display), by turning the instrument off, or by storing @ relative reference with another function, ae80608 I you change ranges, the relative reference is automatically multiplied or divided by the appropriate power of ten hefore being subtracted from the ‘measurement. If you change functions, the REL indicator disappears and the relative reference is stored with the original function. Waen you reselect th function, the relative reference is restored (the REL indicator reappears) unless 2 sew relative refetence was established in another function, ‘The relative function may be used with all the measurement funetions: ac or de voltage, ac or de dB, ac or de current, resistance, conductance, diode test, and frequency. When used with continuity, the relative function stores the accompanying resistance readings. Note that the input averload limits are not changed by the use of the relative function, ‘Another thing to be aware of when using relative reference is that the range of possible readings i still subject tothe limits ofthe display and the 19999 counts ‘of theanalog-to-digital(a/d) converter, regardless of the relative reference. For ‘example, suppose the instrament is nthe de voltage function with the 20V range seleeied, and you store a relative reference of ISV. The maximum postive relative voltage reading that can be displayed without overranging is 4.999V, ‘which is sctualiy a 19.999V input signal. Any input signal greater than 19.999 exceeds the 19999 counts of thea d converter. The minimum (negative) voltage reading that may be displayed without overranging i -19.909V, which is 8 “4.999V input signal, You ean avoid this situation by selecting a higher range Remember thas even though the REL indicator appears on the display almost instantaneously after the REL button is pressed, the relative reference is not ‘stored until the next measurement takes place, For most functions, the time between measurements is about Ost seconds (Frequency measurements occur every steond, and dB measurements oecur about every 1.4 seconds} A typical way to use the relative reference is to correet for test lend resistance ‘Although test lead resistance s usually very small (‘ypically0.5 to 51), ican be significant when measuring low resistances, To correct for it select the desited resistance range, short the test leads together, and press the REL button. The REL indicator will appear and the display will read zero, The 80608 will automatically subtract the stored test lead resistance from subsequent ‘measurements.

Connest the ampli Figure 31, signal generator, oad, and 8060A asshowa in 2. On the 8060A, select theae voltage function and a range appropriate tor the ampliter output 3. Adjust the signal generator for a signal level that is within the input ‘operating range of the amplifier. Beginning ata low frequency (20 H2). steadily increase the frequency until the ac voltage reading oa the 80604, begins to nse. Typically the ac voltage readings will rise toa peak, level ‘out, and then begin to fall, much like the response curve showa in Figure 3-1, (High quality audio’ amplifies will probably not show a rise in eadings since they are generally flat from 20 Hz 10 >20 kHz. In this ese, use KHz as midband reference for 0 dB in Step 4) 4. When the peak or the upper plateat: of ac voltage readings has been reached, press the 4B button and then the REL (relative) button on the 060A. ‘This estblishes the 0 dB relative reference, os0604, SIGNAL GENERATOR OB Rel Rel Level — O08 eset . Figure 3-1, Measuring Amplifier Bandwiath 5. Increase the frequeney input until the dB readings drop to -3.00 dB, Press the Hz button on the 80604 to read the upper frequency limit ofthe bandwidth, Press the dB button to restore the JB reading, 46, Decreate the frequency input so the dB readings rise to 0B and then ‘rop again to -3.00 dB. Press the Hz button to read the lower frequency limit of the bandwidth, You can use a similar technique to examine the performance characteristics of frequency sensitive filters, such as high or low-pass filters, noteh filters, ete With the 4-1/2 digit frequency resolution and the 0.01 dB resolution, you ean very accurately determine the rollof, slope, and bandpass, 3-3. USING THE 8060A AS A Q-METER You can use the HO60A to determine the Q factor of a waned cizeuit (refer to Figure 3-2), First use the technique presented in Section 3-2 to determine the seater frequency (fe) and bandwidth ofthe circuit (for tuned citeuits, the eenter Irequeney of the dangwicth i found at the peak or mlaway Within the Nigh plateau of the dB readings).

Figure 3-3 shows an exarmple ofthis kind of application with the SQ6DA. A 20 raV signal is applied to the fest Stage ofa three-Hage amplifier.

For example, connect the S060 to the ape recorder output Sockets of a phono amplifier with a shielded lead, Select the ac voltage dB function and the 200 mY range, Then play a frequency response test record (they are available at some ofthe larger audio equipment stores). You ean establish reference level by pressing the REL button while particular frequency is being played. The signal level of all the other frequencies on the disc willbe displayed Indl ith reference to the original reference level. Ifyou connect the BO60A to ‘the speaker sockets of an audio amplifier and play the frequency response test record, you can adjust the filters and tone controls and check thei performance “The 80604 is also useful fr a variety of maintenance tasks when servicing tape decks, Some of thee tasks inelude setting up record and playback levels during. calibration, head alignment, checking attenuator pads, and testing equalizers. Refer to manufacturer information for procedures. 36. USING THE 6060A TO MEASURE EXTREMELY LOW CURRENTS By using the high impedance de voltage function and high MO precision resistors, you can use the 8060A to measure extremely Jow currents, For example, if you place a 100 MO resistor across the 8060A and select the high Impedance de voltage fonction and the 200 mV range, the 8060 will measure 2 ‘nanoamp (10%A) current with 0.1 picoamp (10 A) resolution. “The error sources with this method of measurement are the combined accuracy specifications for the voltage range and the resistor, as well as the 060A input bias current. The input bias eurrent is typically 10 picoamps. You cen measure the input bias curtent error by removing the test leads and selecting dhe norm ‘de voltage function and the 200 mV range. The namber of digits in the display reading indicates the inpot bias current in picoamps (disregard the decimal point). You can correct forthe input bias current by using the relative eeference to zero the offse: “The: hest measurement results will be obtained at ordinary room temperature with low relative humidity, Be sure to use adequate shielding fo prevent power line of rf interference 3-7, MAKING d8m OR dBW MEASUREMENTS WITH OTHER REFERENCE IMPEDANCES: ‘The standard power-on reference impedance for 8060A dBm (decibels above or below one millivatt) measurements is 6000, which is the most common reference impedarce used in the data communications and audio fields However, occasionally you might want to make measurements with a diferent relerence impedance, For instance, the standard rf dBm reference impedance is 50f1, Audio power amplifier: use dBW (decibels above or below one wat!) referenced to 2, 4, 8, of 160, The standard method for making these dBm or a4‘060A BW measurements is to add or subtract a correction factor. With the 8060A, hhowever, you can set up any of these reference impedances withthe relative (REL) function, To change the reference impedance, select the desired dB function and appropriate range, apply the equivalent voltage level abtained from Table 3-1 (or from the formulas at the bottom of Table 3-1), and press the REL button. ‘The BOGOA will store the equivalent voltage level, and subsequent dB measurements will be referenced to the new impedance Foran example of how to use this feature, les assume that you want to make ac Voltage dBim measurements referenced to 500.

Whenever you use Table 3-1, be sure you start with the 6000 reference impedance selected on the 8060. Otherwise the values and formulas listed in ‘Table 3-1 will be incorrect because they use the 60000 reference impedance as a starting point. After a reference impedance is stored with the REL button, the reference ‘impedance will remain stored wnt the instrument is turned off or until another relative value is stored, You can cancel the stored reference by pressing the REL, button, in which case the REL indicator wil disappear and the reference ‘impedance will revert to the power-on value, 00. You can use other functions Without losing a stored reference impedance as long as you do not stare some other relative value 3-8. CHANGING AC dB REFERENCE IMPEDANCES WITH A DC SOURCE ‘The most straightforward method of changing the reference impedance is to select the desired voltage dB function, apply the equivalent voltage, and press the REL button. However, a precision ac voltage source is not alwaysas readily available asa de voltage source, There isa method for using a variable 0 to 200 mV de voltage source to setup virtually any reference impedance for ac voltage ab, To use this method, place the AC/DC switch in the AC position and place the ther two function switches in the out position, Find the equivalent dB level in Table 3-L and seleet the appropriate range. Press the dB button, Beginning with 1.200 mY input signal, slowly decrease the input signal until the proper dB level, is displayed on the8060A. Then pressthe REL button. Now you can select the ac voltage dB function and subsequent measurements will be referenced t0 the ‘modified reference impedance. [Note that inthis mode the input signa does not go through the voltage divider or the ac rms converter, but is applied directly to thea/d converter. Sines the a/d ‘converter inputs are between 0 and 200 mV for all ac ranges, the voltage you Apply will always be between and 200 mV, regardless of the range. For example, le's assume You want 10 use this method to establish a reference impedance of 900. From Table 3-{ youcan seethis requires an inputof0 3001V. So you selec the 2V range, but you only apply 30 mV deof signal inthe 2V range to make the reading appeat to be 300 mV ac. Similarly, 30:mV deof signalin the 20V range will appear to be 3V ac, and in the 200Y range will appear to be 30V80608 Section 4 Theory of Operation 4-1, INTRODUCTION This section describes how the 8060A works. An overview of the operation is ‘provided first, followed by descriptions of the two major components and the measurement functions. A detailed schematic of the instrument appears in Section § 4-2, FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION ‘The major citcuits and components of the RO60A are arranged in a block diagram in Figure 4-1. Two major components make up the measurement fystem: a four-bit CMOS microcomputer, and « CMOS integrated circuit Known as the Measurement Acquisition Chip (MAC). The microcomputer seleels the appropriate measurement function in the MAC according to the seitches or buttons pushed by the operator, The micrceomputer also controls the measurement cycles, performs calculations on measured data, and drivesthe display. The MAC measures the conditioned input signals with the ajd ‘converter or the frequency counter. The MAC also controls the power supply land the continuity tone generator. The microcomputer and the MAC ‘communicate through a four-bit bidirectional bus and four control lines. Both components are described in more detail later inthis section AAs shown in Figure 4-1. the input signals are routed by the range and function ststches through the appropriate signal conditioners for input filtering and scale changes, Input signals for all measurement functions except frequency are converted to a proportional de analog voltage that is applied to the a/d converter. The dual-slope ajd converter converts the de analog voltage (0 a Gigital number that is sent to the microcomputer. Input signals for frequency ‘measurement are ac voltages that are buffered by the ac converter and applied the frequency counter in the MAC. The frequeney counter supplies the digital number to the microcomputer. Each of the major measurement functions are Geseribed later in this section 4-3. Microcomputer ‘The faus-bit CMOS microcomputer senses switch positions by reading status registers in the MAC, and senses button pushes through input lines connected0508 Figure 4-1. 60608 Block Diagram igestly to the microcomputer. Tne microcomputer processes the information land then selects the appropriate digital and analog configuration inthe MAC by ‘writing to an array of MAC contol registers, The operation of the instrument is controlled by software routines that are stored in the microcomputer memory. These routines include the normal ‘operating routine, the power-on self-test, oF special self-est routines that may be selected by the operator. When the instrument is first turned on, the ‘microcomputer pertorms the seltest routine whieh checks the LCD segments fand the interface to the MAC (Feler to Section 2 for operating instruction). ‘While the LCD sepmenis are on (a minimum of I.6second), the microcomputer ‘exercinca the busand checks thesnternal registers in the MAC to make surest as Cconttol over them, If the microcomputer detects a problem with the MAC Interface, t stays in the self-test routine with the LCD segments on unt the problem is resolved or the instrument is turned off. Afier the power-on self-test routine is successfully completed, the ‘microcomputer checks t0 see ifthe aperator has seleced the ratio self-test or the switch decoding sel-test (eter fo Section 5 for operatinginstructions). neither ff the seif-tests has been selected, the microcomputer begins the normal ‘operating routine, The operating routine consists of four steps |. The microcomputer reads the function and range selections and checks the four push butions to determine the mode the operator has Selected, The microcomputer then selects either the a/d converter (for0608 measurement of voltage, current, resistance, conductance, continuity, oF the diode test) or the frequency counter 2. The microcomputer initiates either the a) measurement cycle (approximately 400 ms) or the {requency measurement cycle {approximately 1.05). The measurement cycles are described later in this 3.

As the period begins, the AZ switches epen and the INTEG switches close. This applies the ‘unknown input voltage tothe input of the converter. The voltage is bulfered and ‘then begins charging the INTEG capacitor. The waveform at the INTEG capacitor is @ ramp from near zer0 to some maximum value determined by the amplitude and polarity of the unknown input voltage {As the read period hegins, the INTEG switches open and the READ switches ‘lose, This apples the known reference voltage from a “lying” capacitor whose polarity is enosen by the ad converter to be the opposite ofthe polarity ofthe lunknovn input voltage. The INTEG capacitor begins discharging ata fixed rate while a counter begins counting. The counter stops counting when the INTEG Capacitor voltage equals the initial autozero voltage. The count is proportional to the unknown input voltage, and is placed on the display by the microcomputer, IH during the read period the counter counts up to the maximum number of ‘counts for a full-seale reading (19999 counts) and the INTEG capacitor charge has not yet reached the initial autozero Voltage, the microcomputer knows 30 loverrange reading has been taken, The microcomputer places “OL” on the display and commands the ald converter to go into the overload (OL) period Which rapidly slews the integrator voltage back to the initia! autozero voltage. ‘The measurement eycle ends at the end of the read period for an omscale reading, or atthe end of the overload period for an overrange reading A new ‘measurement cycle then begins with the autozero period. The display update rate for measurement functions that se the a/d converter is approximately 0.45, for about 2-1/2 readings per second. 4-6. Voltage Measurement Both the ac and de voltage ranges use an over-voltage-protected 10 MQ input alvider as shown in Figure 44. The over-vottage protection includes wo 2-watt, fusible resistors and Tour metal-oxie varisiors for high voltage clamping. Depending on the range selected, lower le resistors ofthe divider are connected to ground to perform the input signa division, “The de input voltages for all ranges are divided by the appropriate factor of 10to produce a proportional de signal which is then filtered and applied to the input tothe a/d converter. The deand ac voltage ranges and division factorsare listed in Tabie 4-1 along with the corresponding range of inputs to the a/d converte. Notice in Table 4-1 that the 2V de voltage range i divided by I (not 10). The microcomputer compensates by decreasing the integrator gain in the a/d converter by a factor of 10 (refer to Figure 4-2). The integrator gain is also Fedueed by a factor of 10 in the 1000V' de voltage range, which uses the same divider arrangement as the 200V de voltage range. 480604, ‘The ac input voltages are divided with the same divider arrangement as the de input voltages, with the exception thatthe 2V ac voltage range is divided by 10 ‘The divider output signals for ac voltages are ac-coupled to the input ofa true rms ae converter which produces a current output, This negative de representation is applied through a calibrated scaling resistor. The resultant negative voltage is tered and applied to the input of the a/d converter. ‘Table 4-1.

Current Measurement Current measurements are made using a double-fuse-protected, switchable, five-terminal current shunt (0.1 ohm, | ohm, 10 ohm, 100 ohm or I kilohm) t6- perform the currentto-voltage conversion required by the a/d converter. A block diagram of eurrent measurements is shown in Figure 45, When the de ‘current funetion is selected, the de voltage drop across the shunt i filtered and ‘applied to the input of the a/d converter. When the ac current function is selected the ac voltage drop across the shunt is ac-coupled to the input of thetrue rms ac converter. The de representation ofthe ac voltage is tered and applied to the input of the a/¢ converter, All current ranges use the £200 mV a/d converter input sange, 4-8, Resistance Measurement Resistance measurements are made using ratio technique as shown in Figore4 6, When the resistance funetion is selected, a series circuit is formed by the ohms source, 1 relerence resistor from the voltage divider (selected by the range switches), and the external unknown resistor. The ratio of the two resistors is {equal to the ratio ofthe voltage drop across each of them, Since the vatage drop across the reerence resistor and the valle ofthe reference resistor are KNOW, the value of the second resistor can be determined. Input protection during fesistance measurements consists ofa thermistor and a deubl Figure 45, Current Measurement 47‘80608 ‘The operation ofthe /¢ converter during 2 resistance measurements basically as described earlier in this section, with a few exceptions. During the integrate period the vollage drop across the unknown sesistor charges the INTEG fapacitor. During the read period, the valtage across the known resistor stored ‘on the ying capacitor) discharges the INTEG capacitor. The length of the read period is a diet indication of the value of the unknown resist 4-9. Conductance Measurement Conductance measurements are made using a ratio technique similar to that Used in making resistance measurements as shown in Figore 46. The main difference i thatthe function of the range and unknown resistors in the a! d ‘measurement eycle i reversed so thatthe smaller voltage is applied during the integrate period, which minimizes error due 10 noise. During the integrate period the voltage drop across the known resistor charges the IN TEG capacitor. During the read period the voltage drop across the unknown resistor discharges the capacitor. Consequenty the display presents a reading that isthe reciprocal of resistance, which is conductance 4-10. Continuity Measurement Continuity measurement isa voltage comparison made inthe resistance modeas illustrated in Figure 46, The BO6OA determines whether continuity exists inthe [Mena tome nas = elas cena! eee | vegies | onan fe) See eho das in bald l ' o Figure 46, Reslstance/Conductance/Continulty Messurement0604 circuit under test by comparing the voltage drop across the external circuit with ' continuity reference voltage. I the voltage drop across the external circuit i Jest than the reference voltage, the comparator sends the appropriate signal to the continuity logic. The continuity logic notifies the microcomputer which ‘urns on the visible indicator (the fullength bar across the top ofthe display). IF the audible indicator is enabled, the continuity logic enables the tone generator. ‘The detection threshold is typically 10% of the full scale resistance range selected, When the 060A detects continuity for brief intervals (50 us or greater), the microcomputer extends the visible and audible indication to a minimum of 200-ms to allow easy perception by the operator. 4-11, Frequency Measurement Frequency measurement is illustrated in Figure 4-7. The ac input signal is divided by the voltage divider (Figure 4-4) and buifered by theaerms converter. ‘The sigoat is then applied to a comparator in the MAC for counting, The counter gate is controled by the microcomputer, and the range isautomatically Selected by the software in the microcomputer. For very low frequency input signals, the counter actually measures the period of the input signal which the rmicracomputer then invers to derive the corresponding frequency. The display update rate forall ranges is approximately one second (except for frequencies between 12.2 and 16 Hz, which are updated every 1 20 1.35). a woe omer 7 me Rea! Figure #7.

The troubleshooting information is supported by the schematics and tables in Section §, 5-23. Solf-Tests ‘The S060A offers three se-tests: power-on self-test, ratio self-test, and switch decoding self-test. The power-on self-test is automatically performed whenever ‘the instrument is turned on. It is described in Sections 2 and 4. The other two tests function as follows: 5:24, RATIO SELF-TEST The ratio self-test is an operating mode of the 8060A in which the reference voltage for the a/é converter is applied fo the a/d converter during both the Integrate and the read periods. I the instrument is functioning propery, the display should read 10000 +10 counts (the decimal point location depends on the range, and does not aliect the number of counts To select the ratio self-test, select a voltage orcurzent function, Hold downthe “eee button while you turn on theinstrument, Afterthe power-on sell-testhas been completed (the display is 88.88), release the +e button. The instrument should now be inthe ratio self-test mode. To cancel the ratio seli- lest, press the se button or turn off the instrument. i the count is within tolerance. it givesa strong indication that the a/ d converter is working properly. Ifthe count deviates more than 10 counts from 10000, the probable causes are as follows (in order of probability) ajd converter in U3. leakage around or failure of C16, C18, 23, RE, or the power supply 5-25. SWITCH DECODING SELF-TEST ‘To select the switch decoding self-test, hold down the REL button while you turn on the instrament, Alter the power-on self-test has been completed (the display 5.8.8.8), olease the REL bution, The instrument should naw indicate the switch decoding, To cancel the switeh decoding self-test, turn off the The switch decoding sei-test indicates how the software in the microcomputer interprets the conliguration of the eight switches and four push buttons, Each funetion oc range that may be selected corresponds toa number that appears in ‘one ofthe digit positions on the display (see Table 5-6). Notice that ifno rangeis selected, the microcomputer assumes the 200 (uA. mV. M2) range is selected Jn some cases it may be helpful to know that the microcomputer scans the switches in order from SWS to SWS (there is no Input for switch SW4, the default range), The microcomputer assumes the first range switch detected as being pushed in isthe desired range. For example ifyou press in both the 200V ‘and {000 switches while in de voltage, she merocomputer assumes you want the 200V range. There ate two exceptions: diode test and conductance. Ifthe ‘microcomputer detecis that the 2 kM switch is selected it checks for the 20 xO. switch indicating diode test selection). Ifthe microcomputer detects the 2000. 162080, ‘Table 6-6.

Troubleshooting Guide A troubleshooting guide i presented io Table $-7. The guide is structured ‘around the performance tests presented earlier ip this section. To use this guide, Ccompiete the performance tests and note any discrepancies in performance, ‘Then locate the test, symptom, and possible cause of malfunction in Table S-7 When several possible causes of malfunction are listed. they are listed in order beginning with the most probable to the least probable. A section about troubleshooting the power Supply is also included. 170608 ‘The following troubleshooting teshniques can be helpful: ‘© When troubleshooting, remember to use the switch decoding selPtest :o determine whether the microcomputer properly interprets the function ‘and range selection. ‘# Do rnot zemove the main pcb from the bottom ease unless you must doso to gain lectrical access to circuits.

Although there will beno diplay and the ad converter and frequency counter will not work, the power supplies still work so youcan check the input citeaitry, the diode test and ohms sources, and the ae ‘converter. Another advantage is that you gain access to all the pins on U2 Without having to turn the main peb ove, ‘© You can troubleshoot the inpot circuitry with U3 removed (be sure to disconnect the battery before removing U3). Since U3 controls the power supply, removing U3 will cause the ac converter and diode test source 10 Stop Working, Hovtever, it will also eliminate any power supply leakages that might be affecting the input circuitry.
