Users manual for VC99 3 6/7 DMM

1.SUMMARY
This digital multimeter is a steady performance, battery-
driven 3 6/7 digital multimeter. It uses the L! "ith #3mm-
high figure to ma$e the reading clear and ma$e operation
more convenient.
The digital multimeter has the function of measuring !%,
&%, !&, &&, resistance, capacitance, fre'uency,
temperature, duty cycle, transistor and diode, continuity
performance test .The meter can provide functions including
analog bar and unit symbol display, data holding, relative
value measuring, ma(imal/minimal value measuring,
auto/manual range s"itching )*&+,-., auto po"er off and
"arning functions .it adopts double integral &/! converter as
its core. It is an ideal tool for labs, factories and radio-
technology.
