Design engineers use digital multimeters (DMMs) almost every day. They’re the most commonly used instruments on any design engineer’s bench. A DMM could be utilized to make quick and simple voltage ...

While it's often best to call an electrician if you suspect you have a dangerous electrical issue, you can also safely diagnose many of those problems yourself with a multimeter, which is why it's ...

[Rajendra] tipped us off to this really slick hack he’s done to allow his multimeter to tell the ambient temperature. He’s basically measuring the output of an LM35 temp sensor that he has mounted in ...

Key differences in analog vs. digital features. Applications where each type of multimeter is best suited. Multimeters, from small handheld to more sophisticated benchtop models, are indispensable ...

Two new autoranging 4,000-count digital multimeters (DMM) have 3¾-digit displays and measure ac/dc voltages from 100 µV to 1,000 V; ac/ dc current from 400 µA to 10 A; and resistance from 0.1 Ω to 40 ...

Electrical problems are both common and difficult to diagnose. Poor earths, broken wires and dodgy batteries can all cause havoc and take hours to trace, even on fairly simple cars. This makes a good ...

The Model 6500 digital multimeter is a 50,000 count unit with a 50-segment bar-graph backlit display, dc accuracy of ±0.03%, and RS-232 interface with software and cable. The Model 6500 digital ...
