Remarks This Secondary function sets the AC peak voltage level for the AC based Capacitance 
measurem sets an internal register to ldVols rather than setting the 
output level itself. This value is used on any of the AC Caps calibration and 
m t is necessary to perform open 
calibration of the AC Capacitance ranges to be used. Since the DMM is optimized for the 
al mmended not to use this function and keep the default 0.45V peak 
value.

Remarks This Secondary ets the AC voltage source to RMS amplitude of ldVolts, and 
the frequency to ldFreq. The DMM must be in VAC_SRC operation for this function to 
 properl n VAC_SRC operation, and the 
DMMSetACVSource is applied, reading the DMM (DMMRead, DMMReadStr) will 
e meas e output voltage. This function acts on the main 12 bit 
source DAC. If better accuracy is needed it can be accomplished by selecting the 
adjusted any time the DMM is read, making small corrections until the
