MoFoQ,
I was curious about this puzzle, so I set up my own experiment.

Full Wave Rectifier RMS Table

So, the numbers all appear to be within reason and the mooshimeter matches my UT61E very well.

Now, for your measurements, it appears based on the 31.6V from your Fluke, you chose to display Vp instead of VRMS. Is your main concern that the Mooshimeter should measure the Full Wave Rectifier Output in Vpeak instead of VRMS? If so, then should the mooshimeter measure the original sine wave in Vpp or VRMS? I mean I can see value in both, but in general, don’t people pay extra money for meters capable of doing RMS well? I’m just trying to learn something here.
