Average sensing RMS calibrated DC+AC True RMS RMS (Root-Mean-Square) is the term used to DC + AC True RMS calculates both of the AC and describe the effective or equivalent DC value of an DC components given expression AC signal. Most digital multimeters use average DC +(AC rms) When making measurement, and sensing RMS calibrated technique to measure RMS can respond accurately to the total effective RMS...
NMRR (Normal Mode Rejection Ratio) 6) OPERATION NMRR is the DMM's ability to reject unwanted AC noise effect that can cause inaccurate DC CAUTION measurements.

Note : Line Level Frequency measuring function input sensitivity varies automatically with voltage (or current) function range selected. The lower the measuring range the higher the sensitivity. That is, mV function has the highest and the 1000V range has the lowest as in voltage function ranges. It is recommended to first measure the signal voltage (or current) level then activate the Hz function in that voltage (or current) range to...
