1.11, and displays the result. This method is accurate if the input signal is a pure sine wave. The DM-200A and DM-210A are average-responding meters. The true RMS-reading method uses internal circuitry to read the true RMS value. This method is accu- rate, within the specified crest factor limitations, whether the input signal is a pure sine wave, square...
