3. AC voltage measurement (ACV and ACV(AC+DC))
ACV measurement
1. Press .
AC voltage with AC coupling is measured.
2. Pressing continuously switches the AC filter in turn.
ACV(AC+DC) measurement
3. Press and .
ACV and DCV 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 ACV 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.
