OWON HDS1021M Handheld DSO & DMM 7-Using the Multimeter
7.4.7 Making a DC Current Measurement
To measure a DC current which is less than 400 mA, do the following:
1. Press the A key and DCA appears at the top of the screen. The unit on the main reading
screen is mA. mA and 20A will display on the right bottom of screen, press F4 or F5 to
switch the measurement between mA and 20A. 400mA is acquiescently.
2. Insert the black lead into the COM banana jack input and the red lead into the mA banana
jack input.
3. Connect the red and black leads to the measured points and the DC current values of
measured points will be displayed on the screen.
Look at the display, you can see a screen that looks like the following figure 24.
