Explanation
Measurement Mode
One of the following measurement modes can be selected for measurement of voltage
and current. The initial value is “RMS”.
Indicator Voltage Current
RMS Measures and displays true Measures and displays true RMS
RMS value value
VOLTAGE MEAN Displays rectified mean value Measures and displays
calibrated to the RMS value true RMS value
DC Displays DC value obtained by Displays DC value obtained by averaging
averaging the input signal the input signal
Theoretical Equations
• RMS
This mode is selected to display input voltage or current as a true RMS value.

f (t): input signal
T: one period of the input signal
• VOLTAGE MEAN
This mode is selected to display input voltage or current as a rectified mean value
calibrated to the RMS value. Since a sine wave is used for calibration, the value
displayed will be the same as that obtained in RMS mode if a sine wave is
measured. The value displayed will be different from that obtained in RMS mode if
a distorted or DC waveform is measured.

•DC
This mode is selected when the input voltage or current is DC. The input signal is
averaged and the result is displayed.
