Chapter 8 Scope Multimeter Operations
This Scope Multimeter module provides all the tools needed for performing electrical and
electronic circuit tests and for monitoring signals and circuit activity. The Scope Multimeter module
easily separates from the Display Device and connects with a USB cable so that test results can
be remotely monitored as you perform other tasks.
The Scope Multimeter works interactively with other modules. Selecting “View Meter” from a
Component Test or Scanner test launches the Scope Multimeter module.

Risk of electrical shock.
Read the Safety Information provided for important warnings on the use of this product
This product is intended for Measurement Category I (for example, automotive 12V
systems), do not use this product for Measurement Categories II, III, and IV.
Measurement Category I is for performing measurements on circuits not directly
connected to MAINS or MAINS circuits (an example of a MAINS circuit is 120V AC or
240V AC household or industrial electricity), do not connect this product to MAINS or
MAINS circuits.
Do not apply the Black Ground Lead to test points other than ground/system return/
vehicle chassis.
Electrical shock can cause personal injury, equipment damage, or circuit damage.
IMPORTANT:
Maximum rated transient over voltage impulse is 500 volts, do not exceed the rated
transient over voltage.
8.1 Remote Scope Multimeter Setup
The Scope Multimeter module can be removed from the Display Device, then connected to the
Display Device with a USB cable. This increases the range of mobility for the Display Device while
monitoring signals on the test vehicle. A Type A/B USB cable, which is provided with your kit,
makes the connection.
NOTE:
i The Scope Multimeter module can be removed from the Display Device at any time, whether
powered on or not. However, data and settings will be lost if it is removed while operating.
To prevent accidental loss of data, make it a practice to first save the current data if desired, then
select either the Power Off or Back button from the toolbar to suspend meter operation. Power
Off saves the current settings, but does not save data. Settings are not saved if Back is selected.
