To Monitor a Single ChannelTo Monitor a Single Channel

You can use the Monitor function to continuously take readings on a single channel, even during a scan. This feature is useful for troubleshooting your 2 system before a test or for watching an important signal.

1Select the channel to be monitored.

Only one channel can be monitored at a time but you can change the channel being monitored at any time by turning the knob.

2Enable monitoring on the selected channel.

Any channel that can be “read” by the instrument can be monitored (the MON annunciator turns on). This includes any combination of temperature, voltage, resistance, current, frequency, or period measurements on multiplexer channels. You can also monitor a digital input port or the totalizer count on the multifunction module.

To disable monitoring, press again.
