Measurement Tutorial
The Agilent multimeter’s specifications are valid for CF
~
10,
provided
there is insignificant signal energy present above the 300kHz bandwidth
of the meter.
Multimeter performance is not specified for CF
>
10, or when
significant high–frequency signal content is present.
Example:
An ac waveform to be measured is typically 1V
rms
, and will be measured
on the 1 V range. It has occasional spikes of about 3 V (i.e. representing a
Crest Factor of 10) and duration not less than 10
m
s (zero crosses at
100 kHz). This ac waveform can be measured without introducing error.
However, had this signal level been much lower (e.g. in the range of
0.1 V
rms
, the 3V spike would represent a Crest Factor of 30 – out of the
specified performance range of the meter.
