AC Current Accuracy
Accuracy is given as ± (% measurement + % of range). Basic accuracy specification is for a sinusoidal signal with
amplitude greater than 5 % of range. For input signals between 1 % to 5 % of range, add 0.1 % of range.

Gate Times ............................................................. 100 milliseconds to 1 second.
Measurement Method ........................................... Flexible counting technique. AC-coupled input using the ac voltage
measurement function.
Settling Considerations........................................ When measuring frequency after a dc offset voltage change, errors
may occur. For the most accurate measurement, wait up to 1 second
for the input blocking capacitor to settle.
Measurement Considerations.............................. To minimize measurement errors, shield inputs from external noise
when measuring low-voltage, low-frequency signals.
Frequency Accuracy
Accuracy is given as ± % of measurement.
