You measure the first secondary, while the other secondary is shorted. Then you move the Quasimodo to the other secondary, while the first is shorted.
The documentation shows how to measure the different configurations of a transformer. How you measure it depends on how you intend to use it, ie. if you intend to parallel two secondary's in your product, then do your measurement with the secondary's in parrallel.
Or if you intend to use two secondary's in a center tap configuration, then you first measure between the top winding and center tap, while the bottom winding is shorted to the center tap, then you measure between the bottom winding and center tap, while the top winding is shorted to the center tap. (see image)
And so on for the other configs.
Remember to short the primary, and keep leads short. Long leads or not shorting a secondary or primary does affect the result somewhat.
And if I have a transformer in a configuration of 4 secondary windings with one common terminal. 32-25-0-25-31
And the transformer will first be used for an amplifier 25-0-25, respectively 32-0-32 will not be used at all, then vice versa for another amplifier with a power supply of 32-0-32. How then to proceed, when using a transformer, free windings will be in the air, but when Quasimodo is reconciled, it will still short-circuit all windings that are not for measurement? It's just that the result with the windings shorted and not shorted strongly affects what the oscilloscope shows. And if I measure with closed and during operation some of the windings will be open, is this correct?
Sorry, there is an error in the photo, 5 the center is not short-circuited to the rest of the non-measurable windings
When a pair of crimps is not connected, which will not be used during the operation of the transformer, the ringing is clearly less.
