I am having trouble getting a stable frequency reading at 30 Hertz, with the
frequency varying up to 0.5 Hertz with an Extech Multimaster 560 5/6 digit
DMM.  I may have to "normalize" to another frequency.  I am driving it with
an Encore Expressionist which is very consistent for 1V/oct, to about 5.0 mV
over a four octave range and to 15.0 mV over an eight octave range.

There are comments in the manual about range settings to use for pitch
tracking accuracy, so I will use these for measurements.

Range switch: Lowest setting
Bias switch:  High
Tuning Knob in middle of range
