CORRECTING RMS VALUE OF A SINE WAVEFORM SAMPLED DUE LIMITED NUMBER OF PERIODS AND DETERMINATE APERTURE TIME ON DMM Keywords: Digital Multimeter (DMM), Root Mean Square (RMS) Error, Sampling, Aperture Time, Number of Samples
NOMENCLATURE • DC = direct current • AC = alternating current • A/D = analog-to-digital • RMS = root-mean-square • ta= aperture time • t0 = initial phase • ta[T] = aperture time in percentage of a period • F = frequency • Fs= sampling frequency • n= number of samples • ppm= part per million
ROOT MEAN SQUARE • Sine waveform segments can be generated according to the following equation: y[i] = A· sin(t0[T] + F·360.0· i/Fs), for i = 0, 1, 2, …, n – 1. • Sampling info: #s = ta[T]·NRDGS, Fs= F·NRDGS. • Initial phase can vary. • From collected mean values, LabVIEWand Swerlein algorithm (implemented in DMM 3458A instruments) calculates RMS value of a signal waveform. • The standard uncertainty associated with the RMS estimate depends on the waveform stability, harmonic content, and noise variance, was evaluated to be less than 5·10-6in the 1-1000V and 1-100 Hzranges.
