7451A/7461A/7461P Digital Multimeter Operation Manual
4.2.1 Measurement Functions
4-12
6. AC current measurement (ACI and ACI(AC+DC))
ACI measurement
1. Press .
AC current with AC coupling is measured.
2. Pressing continuously switches the AC filter in turn.
ACI(AC+DC) measurement
3. Press and .
ACI and DCI are measured and the root mean square value ( ) is
displayed.
The AC and DC indicators are turned on to show the AC+DC coupling.
4. Pressing continuously switches the AC filter in turn.
5. Press and to return to the ACI measurement.
Selecting the AC Filter
In this instrument, the AC filter can be selected from three for the accuracy optimization in low fre-
quency and the high speed response.
Select the AC filter in consideration of the measurement signal frequency, necessary measurement
accuracy, and response time.
Maximum allowable applied current 3 A
WARNING: Must not measure a current source whose voltage is more than 250 V.
This instrument may be damaged and injury or an accident may occur.
The mA terminal is protected from the applied overcurrent by using the fast-blow fuse.
For more information on how to replace the overcurrent protection fuse, refer to Chapter 8, “MAIN-
TENANCE.”
