Multimeter Features
Making Scale Transfers (Scale)
The Scale operation emulates a transducer by helping you to convert the
measured readings proportionally to the specified ratio and unit display. Use
Scale to transfer voltage readings to proportional readings when using clamp-on
current probes or high voltage probes. The available scale conversions are shown
in the table below.
