AC Conversion Type: AC conversions are ac-coupled, true rms responding,
calibrated to the rms value of a sine wave input. Accuracies are given for
sine wave at full scale. For distorted signals, add the following corrections:
for Crest Factor of 1.4 to 2.0, add 1.0 % to accuracy.
for Crest Factor of 2.0 to 2.5, add 2.5 % to accuracy.
for Crest Factor of 2.5 to 3.0, add 4.0 % to accuracy (0 – 400 A).
