1. Connect the probe into the COMM and Volt Input. Do not connect to the AMPS input. 2. Set the meter to Millivolts because the probe outputs millivolts/amp. 3. With the AES Generic Low Current Probe the ranges are:
On the meter screen you are really seeing volts, but the probe is measuring amps and displaying the amps on the screen in the form of a voltage reading, scaled per the above. The calibration settings of the AES# 07-60 are hard to understand. We suggest you relabel the settings to make them easier to understand.
Probe setting = 1mV/10mA change to 10mV/1A
Probe setting = 1mV/100mA change to 100mV/1A
For the label use masking tape and a permanent marker. For more tips and diagnostic info on current probe technology, using with a lab scope and waveform diagnostics ask about Jorge Menchu's video/manual kit, "Mastering Low Current Probes." http://www.aeswave.com/AES-Mastering-Low-Current-Probes-p8589.html
