Fluke 187 user manual Changing the Default Settings, Selecting Setup Options

Introduction

The meter allows you to change the default operating configuration of the meter by changing setup options made at the factory.

Many of these setup options affect general meter operations and are active in all functions. Others are limited to one function or group of functions.

These settings are stored and can be changed in the Setup mode using the procedure described in this chapter.

Selecting Setup Options

To enter the Setup mode, turn the meter on and press O T (SETUP).

Changing the Default Settings

In the Setup mode, each press of O T (SETUP) saves changes to the last selection and steps to the next option.

Each setup option appears in the primary display in the sequence shown in Tables 5-1 and 5-2.

The options in Table 5-1 are available only when the preconditions are met. The options in Table 5-2 are available for all functions. (When measuring dc volts, none of the preconditions in Table 5-1 are required, and only the selections shown in Table 5-2 will appear.)

To exit the Setup mode, Press O N (CANCEL). Be sure to save your last selection by pressing O T first.)
