NO ; with today's DMM the value is only true with sine wave.

Some use triangular signal, other Dirac comb.
They sample the signal and then computation and mathematical process.

The older one (AMM) were making true measurement with a rectifier and a
filtering cap.


** Not true either - average rectified value, not peak is used.


This is particularly obvious in Amperemeter operations.
