Analog bar graph
The analog bar graph provides a visual indication of
measurement like a traditional analog meter needle.
True RMS
True RMS is a term which identifies a DMM that responds
accurately to the effective RMS value regardless of the waveforms
such as: square, sawtooth, triangle, pulse trains, spikes, as well
as distorted waveforms with the presence of harmonics. This
instrument employs the True-RMS (Root-Mean-Square) detection.
Crest Factor
Crest Factor is the ratio of the Crest (instantaneous peak) value
divided by the True RMS value. Most common waveforms
such as sinusoidal wave and chopping wave have a relatively
low crest factor. A low duty cycle wave form like pulse string
has a high crest factor. For voltages and crest factors fortypical waveforms, see the following table. Please note thatmeasurement should be made under the crest factor below 3.

Indication: EF-Strength indication and audible beep tones areproportional to the field strength.
(Stronger EF makes the period of intermittent beep
tones shorter.)
Detection Frequency: 50/60 Hz
Detection Antenna: Top end of the meter
Probe-Contact EF-Detection:
For more precise indication of live wires, such as
distinguishing between live and ground connections, use
the red (+) test probe for direct contact measurement.
Max/Min (with capture mode)

How to calculate an accuracy
Example) DC voltage measurement (DC mV)
True value: 100.0 [mV]Range accuracy: ±(0.06 %rdg+2 dgt) in the 600.0 mV range
Measuring error: ±(100.0 [mV]×0.06 % rdg +2 dgt)
≒ ±0.3 [mV]
Calculation: 100.0 [mV] ±0.3 [mV]Reading: 099.7 [mV] to 100.3 [mV]
* 2 dgt in the 600.0 mV range corresponds to 0.2 mV.
