Voltage Measure-
ments
The sensitivity of the ac voltage measurement
follows :
Note. In this operation the sensitivity of the multi-
meter, using conventional terminology, is in ex-
cess of 12,500 ohms per volt. The accuracy is in
accordance with the search mode specification.
a. Set the mode selector switch to the DIGITAL
MODE.
b. Set the digit wheels to 1 0 0.
c. Select the desired function/range switch
position. See table 11 for function/range switch
settings.
d. Use the DC (linear) scale, and note the meter
pointer indication.
e. Read from the
appropriate curve in
figure 10
or 11 the measured ac voltage value which cor-
responds to the obtained dc indication value.
