Chapter 2: Getting started
Explains how to prepare the meter for operation and get started quickly taking basic
measurements from the front panel.
Chapter 3: Operating the meter from the front panel
Provides a complete description of each operation that can be performed using the push-
buttons on the front panel. Chapter 3 is organized so that related operations and functions
are grouped together.
Chapter 4: Applications
Describes how to use the meter in more advanced operations and sophisticated applica-
tions. Assumes a basic knowledge of the meter and front panel operations.
Chapter 5: Operating the Meter using the Computer Interface
Describes how to connect the meter to a terminal or host and operate it via the RS-232-C
or (optional) IEEE-488 interface. Assumes a basic knowledge of the meter and front
panel operations.
Chapter 6: Maintenance
Describes how to perform basic maintenance and repairs (e.g., replacing fuses) and how
to order replacement parts. Complete service and repair procedures are contained in the
"Fluke 45 Dual Display Multimeter Service Manual" (P/N 856042).
