Measuring Frequency
Never measure the frequency where the voltage or current level exceeds the
WARNING
specified range. Manually set the voltage or current range if you want to
measure frequencies < 20 Hz.
Your multimeter allows simultaneous monitoring of real-time voltage or current
with frequency measurements. Table 2-11 highlights the functions allowing
frequency measurements in your multimeter.
