Do you know if it measures true RMS, or does it measure average? My
interest is mainly for full wave rectified AC, it is usually not a clean
1/2-wave sinusoid.

Thanks, Bob


For sure it will be average, but the reading will be jiggered upward
by 11.1% to match RMS on a sine wave.

(11.1% is 2*sqrt(2)/pi)
