The frequency of the input signal is shown in the primary display. The voltage or
ampere value of the signal is shown in the secondary display. The bar graph does
not indicate frequency but indicates the voltage or ampere value of the input
signal.
Observe the following measurement techniques:
– If a reading shows as 0 Hz or is unstable, the input signal may be below or near
– If a reading seems to be a multiple of what you expect, the input signal may be

Selecting a higher voltage range might solve this problem by decreasing the
sensitivity of the multimeter. In general, the lowest frequency displayed is the
correct one.
