INTRODUCTION
The DS200 Channel Graphing Multimeter is an automotive industry compact 2 channel bluetooth graphing multimeter connected to a
smart device application that allows for both the initial information to be read and received, but also is opening the gateway into the fu-
ture of data intelligence and interpretation. The meter connected to the smart device application and it can be one of many that can be
connected to the application to provided data for interpretation and analysis to give the user intelligent data; and it is a 2 channel intelli-
gent system; this is the rst set towards data intelligence.
The DS200 Channel Graphing Multimeter (hereafter “The Meter”) is a battery powered multimeter capable of handheld and remote
The Meter meets CAT III IEC 61010-1 3rd edition and 61010-2-030 standards. Overvoltage category III (CAT III) denes a level of
safetyappropriate for the transient overvoltages present in xed equipment installations at the distribution level. This includes the mains
installation of a building, distribution boards, busbars, and permanently connected equipment. Do not use this multimeter for CAT IV
circuits, which includes any mains circuits not protected by a building’s breakers.

SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: Denotes a potentially hazardous situation that may result in injury or death
CAUTION: Denotes a potentially hazardous situation that may result in damage to the meter
NOTE: Denotes a situation that may result in degraded or incorrect measurement
Use caution in the operation of this device. Improper use may
result in injury or death. Read this user manual before operating
the meter
Always remove leads before opening the case.
Do not operate the meter unless it is fully assembled with both
case screws tight.
Only use appropriately rated fuses.
Always check for damage before use. Pay special attention to
the test leads for signs of damaged insulation or exposed
conductors. Immediately replace damaged leads.
Only use test leads that are rated to at least CAT III 600V
Keep ngers behind the guards on the leads.
Use caution working with voltages above 30VAC rms, 42VAC
peak, or 60VDC. Voltages this high pose risk of shock.
Never apply more than 600V between any terminal and earth
ground.
Do not apply more than 2.0V to the auxiliary terminal with
respect to Common. Doing so may draw unexpected current
and trigger protection circuits. In this event, basic functionality
will automatically return within one minute. Accuracy may be
adversely aected for up to ve minutes.
Error messages may appear on the user interface. Read these
messages for further information.

Basic Measurement Instructions
Measuring Voltage
MEASURING VOLTAGE
WARNING: Risk of Electrocution. For determining whether a circuit is “live” exercise caution if the meter does not report a
voltage. This may indicate a poor connection to the circuit being tested. Make sure the probe tips are fully in contact with the
circuit before assuming the circuit is safe.
Two of the DS200 Multimeter’s input terminals are capable of making
basic voltage measurements:
The V terminal can measure up to 600V RMS and is intended for tradi-
tional AC and DC voltage measurements.
The Ω terminal can measure up to 1V peak (~0.7V RMS for pure-sine
AC) and allows for several new measurement techniques described
later in this manual.
See the ratings section for further details on the measurement ranges.

Basic Measurement Instructions
Measuring Current with Internal Current Shunt
MEASURING CURRENT WITH INTERNAL CURRENT SHUNT
WARNING: Exercise care when connecting in series with a circuit, especially those containing motor(s). Sudden disconnects
may create higher than expected voltages due to inductive kick.
WARNING: Perform a Fuse Check before measuring currents with
the internal current shunt. Exercise caution in determining wheth-
er a circuit is “live” if the meter does not report a current. This
may indicate either a poor connection or a blown fuse.
NOTE: AC current range is limited by the instantaneous current.
Peaks above the listed limits will result in incorrect readings. Der-
ate AC current limits with high crest factors accordingly.
Disconnect power from the circuit to be measured.
Break the circuit and wire the meter in series through the “A” and “C”
terminals.
Positive DC current ows into the “A” terminal.

Measuring Current with an External Current Shunt
MEASURING CURRENT WITH INTERNAL CURRENT SHUNT
WARNING: This measurement mode is capable of measuring currents many orders of magnitude larger than is typically pos-
sible with a handheld meter. Exercise caution while interfacing to high ampacity circuits.
NOTE: The accuracy of this measurement mode depends on the
accuracy of the external current shunt used. Account for this ac-
curacy dependency in your measurements.
The Ω terminal can measure small voltages, with a resolution of
as ne as 25nV per count and a noise oor as low as 1µV. This
can be used to with external current shunts to measure currents
over a very wide dynamic range. See the ratings section to guide
shunt size selection.
It is possible to use the existing wiring for the current shunt, and
in doing so take rough current measurements without breaking
the circuit.
With very low voltages it is recommended to minimize the loop
area of the measurement probes by either twisting them
together or using a BNC adaptor.

Basic Measurement Instructions
Measuring Resistance
MEASURING RESISTANCE
NOTE: Do not measure resistance on a live circuit. Doing so will result in incorrect readings and may engage the internal
protection circuitry. Should this occur, wait 5 minutes before taking further measurements.
Resistance is measured between the Ω and C terminals. Polarization is
not important.
The meter uses a 100nA test current in its MΩ ranges and a 100uA test
current in its kΩ ranges.

Diode Testing
DIODE TESTING
NOTE: Do not use the diode test functionality while connected to a live circuit. Doing so will result in incorrect readings and
may engage the internal protection circuitry. Should this occur, wait 5 minutes before taking further measurements.
To test diodes or other silicon junction devices, a test current is pushed
through the device under test and the resulting voltage is measured.
Positive test current ows out of the Ω terminal and into the C terminal.
The test current is 100µA.

Basic Measurement Instructions
Using a BNC Adaptor
USING A BNC ADAPTOR
The 4 terminals are arranged with 0.75” spacing to allow for use of a standard BNC adapter. Measurements using the A or Ω terminals
can be used with the C terminal as usual.
To use a BNC adapter with the “V” input, use the “A” terminal as
the common input. The “A” and “C” terminals are internally
connected with a low impedance (<=20mOhms).

Two Channel Measurements
Measuring Small Resistances/Calibrating a Current Shunt
Your DS200 Multimeter is capable of reading any two of its three channels simultaneously.
NOTE: Measurements using the internal current shunt will experience a degree of cross-talk due to the impedence of the
Common lead. Other measurement types will also experience this cross-talk, but it should be negligible.
MEASURING SMALL RESISTANCES/CALIBRATING A CURRENT
SHUNT
The DS200 Multimeter can be used to measure small resistances in
a live circuit. The meter simultaneously measures the current and the
corresponding voltage with the precision voltage channel (Ω), and then
nds the slope to calculate resistance.
This can be done with either the internal current shunt or an external
current clamp. Using a current clamp allows the measurement to be
done without breaking the circuit and allows for test currents above 10
Amps.
Wire the meter in as shown and enable the measurement mode. Apply
a test current and run the analysis.
The analysis works best with several points along the curve. Therefore,
the optimal test current has a large magnitude and a strong time-vary-
ing component below 1kHz. Often this test current can be the current
already present within the system due to normal operation. For exam-
ple, an AC system’s steady state or a DC systems startup transient
may provide sucient data.

Two Channel Measurements
Power Factor
POWER FACTOR
Power factor compares apparently power and actual power, and is a measure of how eectively a load uses available power. This
measurement requires voltage and current measurements.
Current measurement can be done with either internal or external
current shunt mode. Power Factor is a “unitless” measure, so the gain
accuracy of the measurements does not aect the measurement accu-
racy. Therefore, the existing wiring can be used as an external current
shunt without calibration.
