While using a digital multimeter to diagnose electrical problems on customers’ equipment, I frequently hear the comment, “I’ve got one of those multimeter things, but I never learned how to use it.” ...
Multimeters are a commodity that you won’t use everyday, but is important nevertheless. We’ve come across a number of instances when we’ve needed to check the voltage of a particular product but ...
Prior to the development of today’s versatile multimeters (also called multitesters), separate meters were necessary to test circuits for voltage (voltmeter), resistance (ohmmeter), and current ...
Modern digital multimeters (DMMs) are user-friendly, accurate, and safe — when used correctly! Reading voltage is simple, but measurements must be properly interpreted. With a clamp-on DMM, accurate ...
If you were to ask a random Hackaday reader what their most fundamental piece of electronic test equipment was, it’s likely that they would respond with “multimeter”. If you asked them to produce it, ...
