Em, not a lot. My handheld true RMS Tektronix can give me the average. (One assumes an average of RMS values). > I have a hack that reads as fast as it can.

One can always post-proces to indicate the points of particular interest. My biggest problem is that it is not very practical to log data at the incoming point, which is just above my back door. If I lived on my own, I could set up equipment easily to do this. But sharing a house with a my wife and a large German Shepherd dog, it is not practical to do it with the equipment I have. I think measuring voltage elsewhere would give someone more reason to question its accuracy. In my case, measuring in my lab would almost certainly give a power supply voltage lower than that coming in. Anyway, short term I will use a variac to lower the voltage to test equipment with linear power supplies. I am less concerned about equipment with switch mode supplies.
