AC Current

The following commands are used to select the
Nrf
A numeric value that selects the range for the expected signal. Any valid numeric value
cancels autorange.
AUTO
Selects the autorange mode where the multimeter will determine the appropriate range for
the measured signal. If the signal exceeds the maximum capability then
appears on the front panel and the appropriate bit is set in the device status
OVERLOAD
registers.
FILT100HZ / FILT40HZ / FILT10HZ / FILT1HZ
Selects the chosen analog filter for the RMS converter, thus allowing measurement to be
made at frequencies down to the chosen filter frequency. One of the four available filters
is always in circuit.
RESL5 / RESL6
Sets the resolution of the measurement to 5.5 or 6.5 digits.
DCCP
Selects DC-coupled measurements. Note - DC-coupled should be selected for signal
frequencies less than 40 Hz.
ACCP
Selects AC-coupled measurements.
Measurements of RMS Value and Frequency
For each RMS measurement trigger, a parallel measurement of signal frequency is also
triggered (4.5 or 6.5 digit frequency resolution depending on gate width selection).
