C. MAKING AN AC-COUPLED MEASUREMENT
To select an AC-coupled measurement:
10. Press
.
11. Press
to open the Meter mode Submenu.
12. Press
(MORE METER).
13. Use
to highlight ADD MAIN READING, and
press
to open the list box.
14. Use
to highlight Vrms AC (no DC), and press
to select.
15. Press
to close the window.
Comparing the AC trace of Figure 8-6 with the DC trace of
Figure 8-5, you see that the waveform is now centered
vertically about the middle of the screen and slopes
between the switching edges. The slopes appear because
the waveform is AC coupled where higher frequency
waveforms (>50 Hz without probe or >5 Hz with a 10:1
probe) can be measured accurately.
