Measuring Frequency 
XWWarning 
To avoid electrical shock, disregard the bar 
graph for frequencies >1 kHz. If the 
frequency of the measured signal is >1 kHz, 
the bar graph and Z are unspecified.

The Meter measures the frequency of a signal by counting 
the number of times the signal crosses a trigger level each 
second. The trigger level is 0 V, 0 A for all ranges. 
Press g to turn the frequency measurement function 
on and off. Frequency works with ac functions only. 
In frequency, the bar graph and range annunciator indicate 
the ac voltage or current present. 
Select progressively lower ranges using manual ranging 
for a stable reading.
