Analog bar graph
The analog bar graph provides a visual indication of measurement like a traditional analog meter needle.
True RMS
True RMS is a term which identifies a DMM that responds accurately to the effective RMS value regardless of the waveforms such as: square, sawtooth, triangle, pulse trains, spikes, as well as distorted waveforms with the presence of harmonics. This instrument employs the True-RMS (Root-Mean-Square) detection.
Crest Factor
Crest Factor is the ratio of the Crest (instantaneous peak) value divided by the True RMS value. Most common waveforms such as sinusoidal wave and chopping wave have a relatively low crest factor. A low duty cycle wave form like pulse string has a high crest factor. For voltages and crest factors for typical waveforms, see the following table. Please note that measurement should be made under the crest factor below 3.

How to calculate an accuracy
Example) DC voltage measurement (DC mV)
True value: 100.0 [mV]
Range accuracy: ±(0.06 %rdg+2 dgt) in the 600.0 mV range
Measuring error: ±(100.0 [mV]×0.06 % rdg +2 dgt)
$$ \doteq \pm 0. 3 [ \mathrm{mV} ] $$
Calculation: 100.0 [mV] ±0.3 [mV]
Reading: 099.7 [mV] to 100.3 [mV]
* 2 dgt in the 600.0 mV range corresponds to 0.2 mV.
