I) Measuring Frequency - VOLTCRAFT VC271 SE Operating Instructions Manual

i) Measuring frequency

The multimeter can be used to measure the frequency of a signal
voltage (supports frequencies from 10 Hz to 10 MHz). The maximum
input is 20 Vrms. This mode is not suitable for taking measurements
on mains voltages. Observe the input specifications in the technical
data.
Proceed as follows to take a frequency measurement:
- Switch on the DMM and select "Hz" mode. "Hz" will appear on the
display.
- Plug the red lead into the Hz terminal (G) and the black lead into
the COM terminal (H).
- Connect the two measuring probes to the object that you want to
measure (e.g. signal generator or circuit).
- The frequency and corresponding unit will be displayed.
- After taking a measurement, remove the leads from the measured
object and switch off the DMM.
