 Open the Voltmeter instrument by clicking on the “Voltmeter” button displayed at the far left of the Scopy window.
-The voltmeter instrument makes use of the Oscilloscope probes 1 and 2 in the M2k for the channels which are capable of measuring DC and AC signals at ±20V.

-===== Main Display =====
 ==== History Plot ====
+The graphical representation of the voltage value over time for each channel is displayed. The history plot is in the form of a strip chart where the voltage amplitude is plotted on the x-axis and time is plotted on the y-axis. This may be turned off in the control menu.

+==== Digital Display ====
-===== Control Menu =====
+The numerical value representation of the voltage reading on both channels are displayed present in this section. The voltage value displayed may either be in VDC in Direct Current mode or Vrms in AC Mode.

 ==== Run/Stop Button ====
 The Run/Stop Button on the top-right corner of the Scopy window can be used to start and stop the capture for the two channels. Stopping the capture saves the last reading for both channels.
 Alternatively, the capture can be started and stopped by clicking on the small white square at the right of the instrument name in the left side menu.
-==== DC/AC Modes ====
+{{:university:tools:m2k:scopy:dmm2.png?150}}
-AC/DC mode may be set independently for each channel. AC Mode will display the VRMS value of the signal, while DC Mode will display the VDC value of the signal.
+\\
+\\
+==== AC/DC Modes ====
+{{ :university:tools:m2k:scopy:ac_modes.png}}
+AC/DC mode may be set independently for each channel. AC Mode will display the VRMS value of the signal and is optimized for frequencies between 20Hz to 40kHz, this range of frequency is separated in two options.
+\\
+\\
+The first option is frequency range from 20Hz to 800Hz and the second option is from 800Hz to 40kHz. When the signal’s frequency is not within the range of the option selected, there will be no reading in the instrument.
+\\
+\\
+DC Mode will display the VDC value of the signal from -25V to 25V.
+\\
+\\
 ==== History ====
+{{ :university:tools:m2k:scopy:dmm3.png}}
 The Voltmeter features one Voltage-over-time history plot per channel. These can be independently enabled and disabled by toggling the ON/OFF switches on the right-side menu.
-By default, the plot will represent 10 seconds of data. Under the ON/OFF switches, selectors will allow you to choose the history duration, between three choices: 1 second, 10 seconds, 60 seconds.
+There's a selector below the ON/OFF switches.

+==== Data logging ====
+{{ :university:tools:m2k:scopy:dmm-logging.png}}
+The data logging can be enabled or disabled using the ON/OFF switch in the right-side menu. A file can be chosen clicking the **Browse** button
+\\
+\\
+The Voltmeter can Overwrite or Append to the selected file by checking one of the options located below the file selector.
+\\
+\\
+The timer control, located at the bottom of the right-side menu, controls the amount of data that will be logged. The accepted range of values for this control is between 0 seconds and 1 hour. By default, the spinbox is set to 0. In this case, each value displayed on the LCD will be written to the selected file. If the value is, for example, 4, the Voltmeter will log to file every 4 seconds.

+==== Peak hold====
+The peak hold functionality can be enabled or disabled using the ON/OFF switch in the right-side menu.
+The min and max values are visible on the digital display and can be reset using the **Reset** button.
