True RMS AC Measurements

The AC measurement of DM3058/DM3058E has true RMS response. The power

dissipated in a resistor within a time is proportional to the square of the measured

true RMS voltage, independent of wave shape. This multimeter can accurately

measure true RMS voltage or current, as long as the wave shape contains

negligible energy above the multimeter’s effective bandwidth. The effective AC

voltage bandwidth of DM3058/DM3058E is 800kHz and the effective AC current

bandwidth is 100kHz.

The multimeter's AC voltage and AC current functions measure the “AC coupled”

true RMS value, that is to measure the RMS value of the AC component (DC

component is rejected) of the input signal.

For sine waves, triangle waves, and square waves, the AC and AC+DC values are

equal since these waveforms do not contain a DC offset. See table 5-1 below.

Non-symmetrical waveforms, such as pulse trains, contain DC voltages which are

rejected by AC coupled true RMS measurements.

An AC coupled true RMS measurement is desirable in situations where you are

measuring small AC signals in the presence of DC offsets. For example: measuring
