7. The diode or semiconductor junction can be evaluated as follows:
• If one of the readings displays a value (typically 0.400 V or 0.900 V) and
the other reading displays OL, the component is good.
• If both readings display OL, the component is open.
• If both readings are very small or 0, the component is shorted.

5.11 Streaming measurement data using Bluetooth

5.11.1 General
Some IR cameras from Flir Systems support Bluetooth communication, and to those cameras you can stream measurement data from the meter. The data is then merged into the result table in the IR image.
Streaming measurement data is a convenient way to add important information to an IR image. For example, when identifying an overheated cable connection, you may want to know the current in that cable.
5.11.2 Procedure
1. Pair the IR camera with the instrument. Refer to the camera manual for infor­mation on how to pair Bluetooth devices.
2. Turn on the camera.
3. Turn on the meter.
4. Press the
on the meter to enable Bluetooth.
5. Choose the variable that you want to use (voltage, current, resistance, etc.). Results from the meter will now automatically be displayed in the result table in the top left corner of the IR camera screen.
