■ Other important features
The instrument must suitable for its environment and operating constraints.
• Only use accessories perfect condition.
• High-rupture-capacity fuses are safety elements. you use accessories with lower category or
voltage rating than your measuring instrument, reduces the overall safety level guaranteed your measuring
system.
Thus, its mechanical protection, leakproofing, weight, handling and general ergonomics are crucial factors for the
instrument's reliability, life span and operational effectiveness. It
helps estimate the rate distortion which the multimeter can measure
correctly. counts
■ Bandwidth
This the frequency range within which the multimeter can measure
accurately.
■ Safety rules and good practice:
• Use measurement instruments and accessories which are suitable for the application and measurement conditions.

■ Type
Choose the AVG type for measurements sinusoidal signals. crucial when the signal distorted because, according
to Fourier series development, periodic signal any shape can be
broken down into set elementary sinusoidal signals whose
frequencies are multiples the fundamental.
