1 ms Peak Hold
This function allows the measurement of peak voltage for analysis of components
such as power distribution transformers and power factor correction capacitors.
The peak voltage obtained can be used to determine the crest factor:
Enabling the 1 ms peak hold function
1 Press Shift/Peak for more than 1 second to toggle 1 ms peak hold mode ON
2 Press Hold/Max Min to switch between maximum and minimum peak
3 Press Shift/Peak for more than 1 second to exit the mode.
4 In the measurement example shown in
