2 U1273A/U1273AX Quick Start Guide

Install the Batteries

Your multimeter is powered by four 1.5 V AAA batteries

(included with the shipment).

1Turn the rotary switch to OFF and remove

the test leads from the terminals.

2Lift the tilt stand and loosen the screws

with a suitable Phillips screwdriver.

3Remove the battery cover and observe the

polarity markings.

4Insert the batteries and replace the battery cover and screws.

Turn On the Multimeter

To power ON your multimeter, turn the rotary switch from the

OFF position to any other position.

Auto Dim

By default, the multimeter’s Auto Dim function is enabled. The

multimeter’s backlight will dim automatically after 90 seconds

of inactivity. Press any button to cancel this effect and reset

the Auto Dim timer.

You may change how the multimeter’s backlight behavior

through the Setup menu. Refer to the User’s Guide for further

instructions.

NOTE

Your multimeter is capable of remote data logging. To use this

feature, you will need an IR-USB cable (U1173A, purchased

separately) and the Agilent GUI Data Logger Software (down-

loadable from www.agilent.com/find/hhTechLib).

Performing Measurements and Tests

Voltage measurements

The figure below highlights the primary functions allowing

voltage measurements in your multimeter.

Set up your multimeter as shown in the figure below to per-

form voltage measurements.

U1273A/U1273AX Handheld Digital Multimeter

Performing Measurements and Tests

8 U1273A/U1273AX Quick Start Guide

LPF measurements:

•Passing the measured signal through a LPF help blocks

unwanted voltages such as electronic noise.

•Use the LPF function to improve measurement on compos-

ite sine waves that are typically generated by inverters and

variable frequency motor drives.

ZLOW measurements:

•Use the ZLOW (low input impedance) function to remove

ghost or induced voltages from your measurement.

•ZLOW can remove ghost voltages from your measurements

by dissipating the coupling voltage. Use ZLOW to reduce the

possibility of false readings in areas where the presence of

ghost voltages are suspected.

Press while performing ac

voltage measurements to pass the

measured signal through a low pass

filter.

Rotate the rotary switch’s position to

to enable low impedance mea-

surements.

Resistance measurements

Set up your multimeter as shown in the figure below to per-

form resistance measurements.

Smart Ωmeasurements:

•Use the Smart Ω(offset compensation) function to measure

resistors affected by dc offset or leakage current.

•Smart Ωremoves unexpected dc voltages within the instru-

ment, at the input, or at the circuit being measured, which

will add error to resistance measurements. Press to

switch between the bias voltage (BiAS) display or leakage

current (LEAk) display, calculated based on the bias voltage

and corrected resistance value, on the secondary display.

While performing resistance mea-

surements, press until BiAS is

shown on the secondary display to

enable the Smart Ωfunction.

Continuity tests

Set up your multimeter as shown in the figure below to per-

form continuity tests. Press to switch to the continuity

test function ( is shown on the display).

The beeper will sound as a continuity indication. Press to

switch between normal open ( ) and normal close ( )

contacts.

• Normal open: Circuit is normally open, the beeper will

sound when a short is detected.

• Normal close: Circuit is normally closed, the beeper will

sound when an open is detected.
