#99545 - Use a true RMS meter!
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Thats seems a little obvious! If the waveform shape is always the same then you can apply a constant factor to the peak value. But if the pulse width is changing, that won't work. The solution: either sample the value with a micro and calculate the RMS (although sampling a 80KHz is a bit much) or use a rms chip like the ones from Analog Devices. This has been discussed recently in the forum. I don't think the solution is going to be magic or cheap.
