Frequency Measurement

Analogue Waveform

• Plug the black test lead into the COM terminal & red test lead into the V terminal. • Set the function switch to Hz (Hertz). • Place the black probe on a good earth. • Place the red probe on wire being tested. • Frequency is measured in Parallel . Frequency is measured using a unit called the Hertz to measure the number of cycles a waveform produces in a second. The number of Hertz is calculated by dividing the number of repeat cycles by the length of time in seconds.

Digital Waveform

2 cycles per second (2Hz)
