Your multimeter is capable of remote data logging. To use this feature, you will need an IR-USB 
cable (U5481A, purchased separately) and the Agilent GUI Data Logger Software (downloadable 
from 

www.agilent.com/find/hhTechLib

).

Ensure that the terminal connections are correct for that particular measurement 
selection before starting any measurement. To avoid damage to the device, do not 
exceed the rated input limit.

Degradation of some product specifications can occur in the presence of ambient 
electromagnetic (EM) fields and noise that are coupled to the powerline or I/O cables 
of the instrument. The instrument will self-recover and operate to all specifications 
when the source of ambient EM field and noise are removed or when the instrument 
is protected from the ambient EM field or when the instrument cabling is shielded 
from the ambient EM noise.
