Voltage Measurements
Voltage measurements consist of:
– V AC – Measurements are returned as true RMS readings, which are accurate
for sine waves and other waveforms (with no DC offset).
– V DC – Measurements are returned with their polarity.
– V AC+DC – Both AC and DC signal components are measured as one AC+DC
(RMS) value combined.
To measure voltage:
1 Press and use the keys to select the voltage measurement
function. Set up the following connections:
Ensure that the probe tips are in contact with the metal contacts inside the
outlet. Improper contact may lead to inaccurate voltage measurement. Poor
contact will cause inaccurate readings and poses a risk of electrocution.
