4.14 MEASURING FREQUENCY

4.14.1 Connect the black test lead to

the COM jack and the red test lead
to the Hz jack.

4.14.2 Set the range switch at the

20kHz range position.

4.14.3 Connect test leads across the

source or load under measurement.

4.14.4 You can get reading from LCD.

NOTE:

•

Reading is possible at input voltages

above 10Vrms, but the accuracy is
not guaranteed.

•

In noisy environment, it is preferable

to use shield cable for measuring
small signal.
