High Voltage read attenuated

Hello,

I making a voltage read between 5* and 5#, defining the channel as HV. However, the dt80 read is not the same as measured with a manual multimeter.
I should had something around 12.59V and dt is showing 11,6V.

I'm not used to deal with HV channels, so what I'm missing here?

I've tried to check if some attenuation option is enabled but i'm not getting how to overcome this...

kind regards.

Hi Osnofa,

Please try to use a voltage channel instead of high voltage with enabled attenuator.
You will receive mV reading as the result.
5*V(A)

Hi Rudy,

Thanks for the reply. It was a problem with the instrument, it is now fixed... should have looked at it first, but since it was new we were assuming that the problem was on the programs side.
