■ Root-mean-square value signal
This the value the (positive) signal producing the same heating when passes through specified
resistance. For instrument providing good conversion linearity, may equal the
resolution. also the value measurement count quantification unit,
usually called the "unit".
■ Minimum measurable value (or threshold))
This the smallest measurable value. defined minimum measurable value and a
maximum measurable value
■ Rated calibre
An instrument's calibre the value the quantity measured which corresponds the upper limit the
measurement range.MULTIMETERS
Theoretical Introduction
Multimeters
A few definitions:
■ Measurement range
This represents the limits within which the digital instrument performs specified that the results are not subject
to rate error which higher than the maximum tolerated. For example, for ammeter, the upper limit the range its calibre A.
■ Resolution
This the smallest measurable difference value.
A TRMS (AC+DC) "true root-mean-square" multimeter capable measuring the RMS value signals,
whatever their shape and whether they include component not.
An AVG-type instrument only capable giving correct results for pure sinusoidal signals
