Explanation
Crest factor computation
The crest factor is determined by peak value/rms value. When displaying the crest
factor, “ ” is displayed at the front.
Computing equation for the crest factor and display
CF V: Displays the result of (Vpeak)/(Vrms).
CF A: Displays the result of (Apeak)/(Arms).
Note
•
Definition of crest factor:
PEAK value
RMS value
•
If the measurement mode is V MEAN or DC, “- - - - - -” is displayed.
