SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following safety precautions should be observed before operating the Model 199.
This instrument is intended for use by qualified ~personnel who recognize shock hazards and are familiar with the safety precautions required to avoid possible injury. Read over the manual carefully before operating this instrument.
Exercise extreme caution when a shock hazard is present at the instrument’s input. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) states that a shock hazard exists when voltage levels greater than 3OV rms or
42.4V peak are present. A good safety practice is to expect that a hazardous voltage is present in any unknown circuit before measuring.
Inspect the test leads for possible wear, cracks or breaks before each use. If any defects are found, replace the test leads.
For optimum safety do not touch the test leads or the instrument while power is applied to the circuit under test. Turn the power off and discharge all capacitors, before connecting or disconnecting the instrument. Always disconnect all unused test leads from the instrument.
Do not touch any object which could provide a current path to the common side of the ,+cuit under test or power line (earth) ground. Always make measurements with dry hands while standmg on a dry, in­sulated surface, capable of withstanding the voltage being measured.
Exercise extreme safety when~ testing high energy power circuits (AC line or mains, etc). Refer to the High Energy Circuit Safety Precautions found in paragraph 2.6 (Basic Measurements).
Do not exceed the instrument’s maximum allowable input as defined in the~specifications and operation
section.

ONE-SH(TT OPERATION
In the oneshot trigger mode, each reading consists of multiple conver­sions to fill the Running Average User Filter (30 canvenions), or the Run­ning Average Internal Filter (5%d only, varies by ranges and function-­see manual). For this reason, trigger-to-reading time could be several seconds, depending on iiltering. When filters are off (‘TO” command wer the bus can be SAvEd), readings are made up of only one conversion.

SCANNER OPERATION NOTES
l When using the sc.mner with STEP or SCAN switching, the DMM wi!J
takereading~oneachcharmel ssifit were in&one-shot mode whether pmgmmmed to CONTlNUOUS or ONE SHOT:
-Conversions are automatically synchronized to channel closures. Channels will not close in the middle of conversions.
-Any programmed DELAY is inserted between channel closure and
start of conversion (with scanner disabled, DELAY is inserted bet­ween trigger and start of conversion).
-Readings on each channel consist of multiple conversions to fill the Running Average User Filter (30 conversions), 01 Running Average Internal Filter when active (51hd only, varies by range and function; see manual).
* Scanner switching is break-before-make. The time required to change
channels is approximately 17rwc. which includes break-before-make relay time settling time.
l When using the scanner with ACV or ACA, a DELAY time must be
programmed to accomcdate AC converter settling time (typically >lsec). See Model 199 sp&fications.
*The scanner operates with the set of insirument parameters program-
med prior to stat of scanning. Chanpinp any of these parameters, range function, filter, etc., during scanning will restart the scanner at than­~11. Use autorange if range changes are required while scanning.
USING SCANNER WITH DATA STORE
l Select desired scanner parameters and interval. l Activate scanning (SCANNER, channel limit).
- Program data store size. . TRIGGER vd, start data store and automatically restart scanning at than-
nel 1 synchronized with data store location 1.

DETERMINING SCANNING INTERVAL
- scanning without s&ding interval
--Program INTERVAL SELECT to OFF.
-Interval is sl75msec. depending on other selected parameters.
--INTERVAL OVERRUN message wi!J not be displayed.
l Mienurn Interval Tiie Calculation
-Interval time is the sum oE
1. (conversions per channel) x (conversion time)
2. Programmed DELAY time per channel
3. Break-before-make time (17msec)
4. Auto range time (if used)
--In !XEP mode, c&l&d time above is the INTERVAL setting.
-In SCAN mode, (sum of l-4) x (number channels scanned) is the minimum interval setting.
EXAMPLE’ OF FAST SCANNING
1. Select 3V DC range and function, 4%-d@ resolution, FLTR off.
2. Program ONE SHOT trigger.
3. Select SCAN mode.
4. Select SCANNER ‘8” to set limit to 8.
5. Use TRIGGER to initiate a scan of the set of eight channels.

SECTION 2
Basic DMM Operation
2.1 INTRODUCTION
Operation of the Model I.99 can be divided into two general categories: front panel operation and IEEE-188 bus op~a­tion. This section contains information necessa?y to use the instrument from the front panel. These functions can
also be programmed over the IEEE-488 bus, as described
in Section 3.
2.2 POWER UP PROCEDURE
2.2.1 Line Power
Use the following procedure to connect the Model 199 to line power and power up the instrument.
1. Check that the instrument is set to correspond to the available lie power. When the instrument leaves the factory, the externally selected line voltage is marked on the rear panel. Ranges are 105WZ5V or 21OV-25OV
50/6OHz AC (9GllOV, 180~220V with optional trans­former). If the line voltage setting of the instrutitint needs to be changed, set switch as required. If the line frequency setting of the instrument needs to be checked and/or changed, utilize front panel DMM SETUP (see paragraph 2.7) after the instrument completes the power up sequence (the line frequency is displayed upon power up).
2. Ctmnect the female end of the power cord to the AC receptacle on the rear panel of the instrument. Connect the other end of the cord to a grounded AC outlet.
WARNING The Model 199 is equipped with a 3-wire power cord that contains a separate ground wire and is designed to be used with grounded outlets. When properconnectiins are made, instrument chassis is connected to power line ground. Failure to use a grounded outlet may result in personal injury or death because of electric
shock.
CAUTION
Be sure that the power line voltage agrees with the indicated range on the rear panel of the in­strument. Failure to observe this precaution may result in instrument damage.
2.2.2 Power Up Sequence
The instrument can be turned on by pressing in the front panel POWER switch. The switch will be at the i&w most position when the instrument is turned on. Upon power up, the instrument wiIl do a number of tests on itself. Tests are performed on memory (ROM, RAM and E’PROM). If RAM or ROM fails, the inshument will lock up. If E*PROM
FAILS,the message “UNCAL” will be displayed. See para­graph 6.7.2 for a complete description of the power up self test and recommendations to resolve failures.~
Immediately upon power up- the unit will display the pro­grammed line frequency. For example:
FREQ = 60HZ
2.2.3 Default Conditions
Default conditions can be defined as setup conditions that the instrument will return to when a particular feature or

At the factory, the Model 199 is set up so that the instru­ment is configured to certain setup conditions on the initial power up. These factory default conditions are listed in Tables 2-l and 3-7 (located in Section 3). If alternate setup conditions are saved (see User Saved Default Conditions), the instrument can be returned to the factory default con­ditions by using Reset, available under DMM SETUP See paragraph 2.7.

2.3.2 Power Switch
POWER controls AC line power to then instrument. Depressing and releasing the switch once turns the power on; depressing and releasing the switch a sec?nd, time turns the power off. The on and off positions are marked on the front panel immediately above the POWER switch.
2.3.3 Controls
The &in controls discussed below are all momentary­contact switches. These controls are numbered on Figure 2-1. Many of the controls have a secondary function that is selected by pressing SHIFT before pressing the control in question. SHIFTed controls are placed in parentheses in the following diiussions.
VOLTSI(STORE)-VOLTS places the ii%.trument in the volts function. See paragraphs 2.6.4 and 2.6.7 for DCV and ACV measurement informatitin. (STORE) allows access to the data store buffer to select buffer size and initate the storage of readings. A third function of this key is to enter the number 0 for some numeric input operations.
OHMS/(RECALL)-OHMS selects the resistance measurement function, as discussed in paragraph
2.6.6. (RECALL) allows you to display data store buffer information on the front panel display. A third function of this key is to enter the number 1 for numeric input operations.
AMFS/(FImR)-The AMPS buttons select current measurement, as discussed in paragraph 2.6.8. (FIIXER) toggles the filter between internal and user falter (FLTR on ftir user). See paragraph 2.6.3 for
details on filter operation. The third function of this key is to enter the number 2 when numeric input is required.
AU(dB)-AC selects AC volts 01~ AC current
measurement, depending on whether VOLE oi AMPS is in effect. (dB) toggles the dB function on or off for AC voltage or current measurements. OdB reference for these functions is 1V (volts) or lmA (amps). Paragraph 2.6.9 gives more i&%iiiati~~ on dB measurements. The third function of this key is to enter the number 3 for numeric inputs.
ZERO/(RESOLN)-ZERO enables the zero mode, which allows baseline values to be subtracted from subsequent measurements, and can also be used
for zero correction (paragraph 2.62). (RESOLN)
toggles the display between 4% digit and 5% digit resolution. The third function for this key is to enter the number 4 when numeric input is required.
LOCAL-The LOCAL key takesthe instrument out of remote when it is being used over the IEEE-488 bus. Note that all other control keys will be locked out when the unit is in remote (LOCAL will also be inoperative when LLO is ifi effect).
AUTOQDMM SETUP)-ALJTO places the instru­ment in autoranging, which is available for all ranges and functions. While in autoranging, the unit will go to the best range to measure the ap­plied signal. Autoranging can be cancelled by press­ing AUTO or one of the two manual ranging but­tons (discussed below). (DMM SEl’Ul’) allows ac­cess to the following functions: software revision level, multiplexer on/off, IEEE-488 primary address programming, 50/60& line frequency~ selection, save setup, LED test, debug, and instrument reset (see paragraph 2.7). Entering the number 5 is the third function of this key.
DownYang= (v)-decrements the range and also cancels autorange if selected. The secondary func­tion of this key is to enter the number 6.
Uprange (A)-increments the range and also
cancels autorange if selected. The secondary func-
tion of this key is to enter the number 7.
SCANNERI(SCAN SETUP)- SCANNER aJIows you to select the scanner channel limit and scan-
ner channel number. (SCAN SETUP) allows you to program 214 pole operation, ratio, and scanner trig­ger mode. See paragraph 2.11 for more scanner in-
formation. The third function of this key is to enter the number 8 for numeric input operations.
xxIGGEW(wG SETLJP)-TRIGGER triggers in-
strument readings. (TRIG SETUP) allows you to
select the trigger mode, delay, and interval. The
default delay is Omsec, and the~default interval is l75msec. See paragraphs 2.8 and 2.9 for more in­formation on triggering. A third function of th& key is to enter the number 9.
SHIFI/NEXT-SHIFT allows access to secondary
functions of many of the control keys (for example,
DMM SETUP). NMT scrolls through menu selec-
tions for those functions with menus.

2.6 BASIC MEASUREMENTS
The following paragraphs describe the basic procedures for making voltage, resistance, current, and dB measure­ments.
High Energy Circuit Salty Precauticms
To optimize safety when measuring voltage in high energy
distribution circuits, read and use the directions in the
following warning.
WARNING Dangerous arcs of an explosive nature in a high energy circuit can cause severe personal injury or death. If the meter is connected to a high energy circuit when set to a current range, low resistance range or any other low impedance range, the circuit is virtually shorted. Dangerous
arcing can also result when the meter is set to
a voltage range if the minimum voltage spac­ing is reduced.
When making measurements in high energy circuits use
test leads that-meet the following requirements:
l Test leads should be fully insulated. l Only use test leads that can be connected to the circuit
(e.g. alligator clips, spade lugs, etc.) for hands-off
measurements.
l Do not use test leads that decrease voltage spacing. This
diminishes arc protection and creates a hazardous condition.
CAUTION CAUTION The maximum common-mode input voltage The maximum common-mode input voltage (the voltage between input LO and chassis (the voltage between input LO and chassis ground) is 500V peak. Exceeding this value may ground) is 500V peak. Exceeding this value may damage the instrument. damage the instrument.
2.6.1 Warm Up Period
The Model 199 is usablq~jmmediately when it is f&t turned on. Howeve!, the instrument must be aowed to warm up
for at least two hours to achieve rated accuracy.
2.6.2 Zero
The zero feature serves as a means of baseline %uppres­sion by allowing a stored offset value to be subtracted from subsequent readings. When the ZERO button is pressed, the instrument takes the currently displayed reading as a baseline value. All subsequent readings represent the dif­ference between the applied signal level and the stored
baseline.
A baseline level can be established for any or all measure­ment functions and is remembered by each function. For Ample, a 1OV baseline can be established on DCV, a 5V baseline can be established on ACV and a 1OkQ baseline can be established on OHMS at the same time. These levels will not be cancelled by switching back and forth between functions. Once a baseline is established for a measure­ment function, that stored level wiU be the same regardless of what range the Model 199 is on. For example, if 1V is established as the baseline on the 3V range, then the baseline will also be 1V on the 30V through 3oOV ranges. A zero baseline level can be as large as full range.
Use the following sequence when testing power circuits:
1.
De-energize the circuit using the regular installed connect-disconnect device such as the circuit breaker, main switch, etc.
2.
Attach the test leads to the circuit under test. Use ap­propriate safety rated leads for thii application.
3.
Set the DMh4 to the proper function and range.
4.
Energize the circuit using the installed connect-
disconnect device and make measurements without disconnecting the DMM.
5.
De-energize the circuit using the installed connect­disconnect device.
6.
Dkonnect the test leads from the circuit under test.
NOTE
The following discussion on dynamic range is
based on a disolav resolution of 5% dieits. At 41/zd
resolution, th’e Lumber of counts would be re­duced by a factor of 10.
By design, the dynamic measurement range of the Model
199, at 5%digit resolution, is 606,OKl counts. With zero disabled, the displayed reading range of the instrument is GO3,OCHl counts. With zero enabled, the Model 199 has the capability to display ~606,OCKl c&n-&. This increased display range ensures that~~the dynamic measurement range of the instrument is not reduced when using a zero
2-7
baseline value. The following two examples will use the maximum allowable zero values (303,000 counts and
-303,000 cotints) to show that djkamic measurement
range will not be reduced. It is important to note that the
inaased display range does not increase the maximum
allowable input level to the instrument. For example, on the 3V range, the Model 199 will always over-range when more than i3.03V is connected to the input.
Example l-The instrument is set to the y DC range+ a maximum -3.03OOOV is established as the zero value. When -3.03OOCV is connected to the input of the Model 199, the display will read 0.0000W. When +3.03oooV is con­nected to the inpui, the display will read +6.06OOOV. Thus, the dynamic measurement range ot the Model~le is OV to 6.06V, which is 606,000 counts.
for when zeroing the 309Q range with the above procedure.
Baseline Levels--Baseline v&es can be established by ap
plying baseline levels to the instrument. To establish a baseline level by applying a level to the Model 199, per­form the following steps:
1. Disable zero, if presently enabled, by pressing the ZERO button. The ZERO indicator will turn off.
2. Select a function and range that is appropriate for the anticipated measurement.
3. Connect the desired baseline level to the input of the Model 199 and note that level on the display.
4. Press the ZERO button. The display will zero and the ZERO indicator will be enabled. The previously displayed reading will be the stored baseline.
Example Z-The instrument is still set to the 3V DC range,
but a maximum +3.03OOOV is the zero level. When
+3.03OCKiV is connected to the input of the Model 199, the
display will read 0.01IO00V. When -3.03OGOV is connected to the input, the display will read -6.06OOOV. Thus the dynamic measurement range of the instrument is -6.06V
to OV, which is still 606,000 counts.
Zero Correction-The Model 199 must be properly zeroed when using the 3COmV DC or~the 3003 range in order to achieve rated accuracy specifications. This procedure should be performed whenever the ambient temperature changes. To use ZERO for zero correction, perform the following steps:
1. Disable zero, if presently enabled, by pressing fie
ZERO button. The ZERO indicator will turn off.
2. Select the 3OOmV DC or the 30011 range.
3. Connect the test leads to the input of the Model 199
and short them together. If four-wire resistance measurements are to be made, connect and short all four leads together. Allow any thermals to stabilize.
Note: At 5Yxiigit resolution, low level measurement techniques need to be employed. Use Kelvin test leads or shielded test leads.~See paragraph 2.6.5 for low level measurement considerations.
4. Press the ZERO button. The display will read zero.
5. Remove the short and connect the test leads to the sig­nal or resistance to be measured.
Note: Test lead resistance (Z-wire) is also compensated
WARNING
With ZERO enabled, a hazardous voltage
baseline level (i4OV or more), not displayed,
may be present on the input terminals. If not sun? what is applied to the input, assume that a hazardous voltage is present.
5. Disconnect the stored signal from the input and con­nect the signal to be measured in its place. Subsequent readings wiU be the difference between the stored value and the applied signal.
Notes:
1. Disabling zero cancels the zero baseline value on that selected fun@ion. Baselines established on other func-
tions are not affected.
2 To store a new baseline on a selected function, zero
must first be disabled and then enabled again. The new value wiIl be stored with the first triggered conversion.
3. Setting the range lower than the suppressed value will overrange the display; the instrument ti display the overflow message under these conditions.
4. When the ZERO button is pressed to enable zero, the ZERO indicator light will blink until an on scale reading is available to use as a zero level. In the one-shot trig­ger mode, the unit must be triggered to store the zero
value.
