  • Page 113: Chapter 5 Measurement Tutorial

    Chapter 5 Measurement Tutorial True RMS AC Measurements The AC measurement of DM3058/DM3058E has true RMS response. The power dissipated in a resistor within a time is proportional to the square of the measured true RMS voltage, independent of wave shape. This multimeter can accurately measure true RMS voltage or current, as long as the wave shape contains negligible energy above the multimeter’s effective bandwidth.
  • Page 114 AC+DC true RMS value. You can determine this value by combining results from DC and AC measurements as shown below. You should perform the DC measurement using 5.5 digit mode for best AC rejection. User’s Guide for DM3058/DM3058E 800.561.8187 information@itm.com www.

  • Page 115: Crest Factor Errors (Non-Sinusoidal Inputs)

    Generally speaking, the greater the crest factor, the greater the energy contained in high frequency harmonics. All multimeters have errors that are crest factor dependent. Crest factor errors for DM3058/DM3058E are listed in the AC Characteristics section in chapter 6. Please note that the crest factor errors do not apply for input signals below 100Hz.

    RIGOL Loading Errors (AC Volts) In the AC Voltage function, the input of DM3058/DM3058E appears as a 1MΩ resistance in parallel with 100 pF of capacitance. The test lead that you use to connect signals to the multimeter will also add additional capacitance and loading.

  • Page 117: Application Of The Analog Filter

    RIGOL Application of the Analog Filter The analog filter of DM3058/DM3058E can be used to reduce the influence of the AC component in DC measurement. For most measurement, the filter may not require, but sometimes it can improve the DC measurement. For instance, if the DC electrical source to be measured has a big AC ripple, it can be reduced by the analog filter.
