Specifications
• Measurements are always automatically
recorded to instantly show changes over time
• Use cursors to read time and date of sags
and swells
• Catch voltage transients and waveform
distortion down to 40 nS
• Catch and save up to 40 transients
• Correlate the cause of transients with time
and date stamps
Accuracies are stated as ± (percentage of
reading + counts) without probes unless
Specifications are valid for signals with a
fundamental between 40 and 70 Hz.
