AC peak-to-peak using a 4060

AC peak-to-peak using a 4060

‎04-11-2002 03:13 PM

I would like to make a peak-to-peak AC voltage measurement, rather than an AC RMS measurement, using a 4060 PXI-based DMM card. Is it possible to make such a measurement? And if so, what would be the best approach to doing so?

There is not a function for the NI-DMM to measure the peak-to-peak, either in the Soft Front Panel, LabVIEW, C++, or Visual Basic.

Assumming that you are measuring a true AC signal, you can calculate the the peak-to-peak by multiplying the RMS value by square root of 2.
