Measuring Harmonic Ratio (U1242A)
Using Switch Counter
Press

position
Harmonics ratio function indicates the 
deviation of non- sinusoidal to 
sinusoidal waveform from the range of 
0% to 100%. A pure sinusoidal 
waveform without harmonics gives a 
value of 0.0%. 
Alternatively, press   button to 
display the RMS value of AC voltage. 
The meter will resume back to 
harmonic ratio value display 
automatically after 3 seconds. 
The switch counter is used to check the 
open/close condition of a switch, relay or 
push button. The meter provides the time 
base of 10 and 100 seconds, or 
user- defined time base.
This function detects switch condition in  
normally close (Low level) or normally 
open (High level) of a circuit with voltage 
less than 3 V. The switch counter counts 
the intermittent for longer than 250 μsec.
