Set up your multimeter to measure AC voltage as shown in
Figure 2- 2. Probe the test points and read the display.
AC voltage measurements measured with this multimeter are returned as
true rms (root mean square) readings. These readings are accurate for sine
waves and other waveforms (with no DC offset) such as square waves,
triangle waves, and staircase waves.
