Measuring Frequency/Duty Cycle/Pulse Width; Measuring Ac/Dc Voltage Frequency - Radio Shack 22-812A Manual

Taking Measurements

Measuring Frequency/Duty Cycle/Pulse Width

The meter can measure fre�uency from 10 Hz to 4 MHz and duty cycle and pulse
width with a signal fre�uency from 10 Hz to 100 kHz. The amplitude of the signal
should not be larger than 10V peak.
1. Rotate the function dial to LOGIC/Hz and press SELECT until Hz, KHz, or
MHz appears.
Otherwise, press Hz/DUTY/WIDTH to select duty cycle function (
or pulse width function (µ pulse width function (µ µ S or mS appears).
2. if you are measuring frequency, press RANGE if necessary to select manual
range then press RANGE until the range you want appears.
3. Connect the black test lead to a ground reference for the signal, and connect
6-26-07
the red test lead to the signal source.
Measuring AC Voltage/AC Current Frequency
The meter can measure the frequency of an AC �oltage, with or without a DC
source bias.
WARNING: To a�oid electrical shock and damage to the meter, ne�er try to
measure a fre�uency of more than 1 kHz between AC 40 volts RMS and 750 volts
RMS.
1. if you are measuring AC �oltage with a DC source bias, set the function dial to
dBm /
To measure AC current frequency, rotate the function dial to
0.4/4mA and 4/10A ranges or
2. To select the frequency function, press Hz/DUTY/WIDTH until Hz, kHz, or
MHz appears.
3. To select the duty cycle or pulse width function, press Hz/DUTY/WIDTH until
% appears (to select duty cycle) or until µS or mS appears (to select pulse
width).
4. if %, µS, or mS appears and you want to select the frequency function again,
press Hz/DUTY/WIDTH until Hz, kHz, or MHz appears.
5. Connect the test leads to the de�ice you want to check.
V. Otherwise, set the function dial to ºC/ºF/
rotate the function dial to
/ mA/A for 40/400mA and 4/10A ranges.
