5. WAVEFORM
The Waveform mode screen is the initial screen when the instrument turns on.
Press the
button to enter waveform mode
Waveform mode displays voltage curves, current curves, and values calculated
from the voltage and currents (except harmonics, powers, and energies).
Waveform mode Functions
