... Instruments general-purpose, portable, or laboratory Instruments. They are well suited to servicing, production, inspection and engineering applica- tions. The 260 uses the Simpson taut-band movement, which is self-shielding. The taut- band suspension provides a high degree of repeatability and is highly resistant to shock or vibration. ...

... Measuring AC Voltage NOTE: The Simpson 260-6XLM responds to the full-wave average value waveform. They are calibrated in terms of the RMS value of a pure sine wave. If the waveform is nonsinusoidal, the reading might be either higher or lower than the true RMS value, and could result in a substantial error. Also, accuracy is lessened at higher input frequencies (Figure 4-1) ...
