Measurement Fundamentals
Example: Calculating Measurement Error
Calculate the approximate measurement error for a pulse train input
with a crest factor of 3 and a fundamental frequency of 20 kHz.
The internal DMM is set to the 1 V range. For this example, use the
90-day accuracy specifications of
as shown in chapter 9 on page 406.
