Back in the early days of electricity, lab workers could measure electric current in a circuit using an ammeter (galvanometer) and voltage using a voltmeter. From there, they could calculate ...

Let's start with DC voltage, one of the simplest and most-used multimeter measurements. The DC voltage measurement is used to determine the difference in electrical potential between two points in a ...

The resistance of the diode cannot be measured with the normal ohmmeter on a DMM because the voltage used may not be high enough to bias the diode. DMM’s often have a diode testing mode that supplies ...

Digital multimeters (DMM), once called voltmeters, have been described as the tape measure for engineers in the new millennium. With electronics and electrical circuits included in almost every ...

Performing single-point pass/fail DC tests on packaged diodes is critical to ensure compliance with manufacturers’ specifications and weed out defective devices before they are shipped. Most types of ...
