NOTE

INPUT A in Meter mode can make separate V DC and Vrms AC measurements on the same signal at the same time. V DC and Vrms AC readings are normally displayed together.

V DC METER Measure the DC (direct) voltage of the input signal in Meter mode.

Vrms AC METER Measure the RMS (Root Mean Square) voltage of the input signal in Meter mode. This is done with DC- coupled input. Allows AC component of signal to be displayed

Vrms AC+DC METER Measure the true RMS (Root Mean Square) voltage of the input signal in Meter mode. If a DC-offset is present, this measurement will read higher or lower than Vrms AC. If there is no DC offset present, this measurement will be the same as Vrms AC.

V DC (mean) SCOPE Measure the mean (average of readings) value of the waveform between the (vertical) cursors in Scope mode.

Vrms SCOPE Measure the RMS (Root Mean Square) voltage of the waveform between the (vertical) cursors in Scope mode.

dV SCOPE Measure the voltage difference between the (horizontal) cursors in Scope mode.

V peak/peak SCOPE Measure the difference between highest and lowest voltage value of the waveform between the (vertical) cursors in Scope mode.

Vmax peak

SCOPE Measure the maximum peak value

of the waveform between the cursors in Scope mode.

Vmin peak

SCOPE Measure the minimum peak value

of the waveform between the cursors in Scope mode.

dBV DC

METER (decibel Volts) Measure the voltage

ratio of the DC component of a signal with respect to a reference voltage in Meter mode. This is done with DC- coupled input.

dBV AC METER (decibel Volts) Measure the voltage ratio of the AC component of a signal with respect to a reference voltage in Meter mode. This is done with DC- coupled input.

For dBV, you can select a range of references by pressing

or . Choose a voltage between 50 mV and 9.99V. The default value is 1V.
