The reading area displays the numeric readings of the chosen measurements on the waveform that is applied to the input jack.

•First connect the red shielded test lead from input A, and the gray shielded test lead from input B to the signals to be measured. Connect the short ground leads to the same ground potential. (See Figure 1-7.)

Note

For Ohm (Ω), continuity, diode, and capacitance measurements, use the red shielded test lead from input A and the black unshielded ground lead from COM (common). (See Figure 1-7.)

To choose a frequency measurement for Input A, do the following:

			Highlight Hz.

			Select Hz.
			Select Hz.

Observe that Hz is now the main reading. The former main reading has now moved to the smaller secondary reading position. (See Figure 1-8.)

The Fluke 123 and 124 are part of Fluke's innovative range of handheld oscilloscopes designed for electrical and industrial maintenance professionals. These devices combine oscilloscopes with digital multimeter capabilities, making them invaluable tools for troubleshooting and maintenance tasks.

One of the standout features of the Fluke 123 and 124 is their ability to perform real-time waveforms and measurements.
