VOLTAGE MEAN
Select this mode to display the voltage as a rectified mean value calibrated to the rms value. A sine
wave is used to calibrate the value to the rms value, so when sine waves are measured, the values

DC
Select this mode when the input voltage or current is DC. The input signal is linearly averaged, and the
result is displayed.
