    Analog Output A Phono-type output jack is provided on the meter for connection to external test equipment. An AC rms voltage is provided (0.707V maximum) which is a linearized representation of the analog pointer reading. Connect this output to a datalogger, chart recorder, etc. for logging purposes. Tripod Mount A threaded insert on the rear of the meter permits attachment to a tripod stand for increased stability and accuracy (eliminates hand noise and minimizes the effects of sound reflected from the user's body).
