Table 1-10 Frequency Test characteristics 
Range  Auto Range 
Measurement Range  3Hz~300kHz 
Input Signal Range  100mVAC~750VAC 
Import Protection  750VRMS on all ranges (HI Terminal) 
Configurable Parameters Null value 
 
Basic measurement: 
1.    Connect test leads as Figure 1-32 shown. Red test lead connects the HI Terminal, 
Black test lead connects the LO Terminal. 
2.  Press     to select the Frequency Test. 
3.  Set the Null value 
Null computing will be an option operation, could be setup in accordance with 
user demand. If user does not implement Null computing, this parameter is not 
required, direct implementation of the next step.
