Digital multimeter
1.
2. Quick OverviewQuick Overview
2. An ohmmeter measures the resistance of a
component (in ohms).
The digital multimeter is a versatile
instrument that contains three different
meters in one.
• 1. A voltmeter measures the voltage across a
component (in volts).
• 3. An ammeter measures the amount of
current
through a component (in amperes, or
amps).
4. Digital Multimeter Layout
Below the digital readout is a black
dial, called the FUNCTION switch.
• The top portion of the meter
contains the digital readout area
which displays the measurement
value.
• The FUNCTION switch dial is
turned to select the meter’s
function .
i.e. voltmeter, ammeter, or
ohmmeter.
5. Function Switch Dial
There are eight different
functions to choose from on the
function switch.
The first is OFF. The meter
should always be returned to
this position when not in use.
• The V markings are for
measuring DC and AC voltage
• The Ω marking is for
measuring resistance.
• The A marking is for measuring
current.
6. Function Switch
Measuring Voltage
The V~ (
*) setting is for
measuring AC voltages.
Eg. house voltage
V
V
**
*
• The V– (
*) setting is for
measuring DC voltages.
Eg. battery voltage.
• The 20 (
*) setting is to
measure DC voltages in the
volts (V) range.
7. Set the dial to the a
value greater than the
voltage being
measured.
For our labs, we will
be working with the
20 V range.
8. Function Switch
Measuring Resistance and Current
The Ω setting (
*)
is used to
measure electrical
resistance in
ohms.
* *
• The A setting
(
*) is used to
measure DC
current in
amps.
9. Measuring Resistance
Set the dial to a value
greater than the
resistor value being
measured.
For a 300 ohm
resistor, set the
dial to 2000
For a 5000 ohm
resistor, set the dial to
20k
The 1 in the
display means the
resistance is higher
than the current
dial setting
10. Measuring Resistance
Set the dial to a value
greater than the
resistor value being
measured.
For a 300 ohm
resistor, set the
dial to 2000
For a 5000 ohm
resistor, set the dial to
20k
The 1 in the
display means the
resistance is higher
than the current
dial setting
