Default voltage of dimmer output not reading same on two different DVM's

=====================

DC voltage and true RMS voltage are equivalent.
DC meters read the average, DC value of a wave.


No dispute on that, just why a DVM might not read it right.


** Cannot possibly help but do so.

Analog ones do so by virtue of meter needle inertia.

DVMs do so by virtue of a simple LP filter at the input.
