Explanation
Measurement Mode
One of the following measurement modes can be selected for measurement of voltage
and current. The initial value is “RMS”.

• RMS
This mode is selected to display input voltage or current as a true RMS value.

T: one period of the input signal
• V MEAN
This mode is selected to display input voltage or current as a rectified mean value
calibrated to the RMS value. Since a sine wave is used for calibration, the value
displayed will be the same as that obtained in RMS mode if a sine wave is
measured. The value displayed will be different from that obtained in RMS mode if
a distorted or DC waveform is measured.

• DC
This mode is selected when the input voltage or current is DC. The input signal is
averaged and the result is displayed.
