DVM or Oscilloscope:
Most DVM will indicate the RMS or True RMS value of a sinewave with in
the frequency range of the meter.
Some functions to consider:
Function DVM Oscilloscope
Frequency Some via time for a period (or half period)
RMS Sinewave only no
Peak-Peak no Any waveform (peak, or peak-peak)
Wave shape no yes
Multiple
wave shapes no yes
Phase not normally yes
Transient no yes
Voltage yes yes
Current yes direct yes, voltage across known resistor
Resistance yes no
Beta of
transistor yes at specific yes, make into a transistor curve tracer.
Ic. at any Ic.
Use as a
picture tube
;-) no yes, (I didn't miss a hockey game that year)

| (...) I'm not personally familiar with that particular model, but I use a FLUKE with similar features. The frequency measuring is a nice addition. The inclusion of a bar graph in the LCD can be handy in looking at fluctuations. If I could have only (...) (27 years ago, 29-May-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
