NOTE
AC voltage measurements measured with this multimeter are returned as
true rms (root mean square) readings. These readings are accurate for sine
waves and other waveforms (with no DC offset) such as square waves,
triangle waves, and staircase waves.
NOTE
Press to measure the frequency of the AC voltage source. See
“Measuring Frequency” on page 61 to learn more.
