The first digital voltmeter was invented and produced by Andrew Kay of Non-Linear Systems (and later founder of Kaypro) in 1954. [1] Simple AC voltmeters use a rectifier connected to a DC measurement circuit, which responds to the average value of the waveform.
An autoranging digital multimeter can automatically adjust the scaling network so the measurement circuits use the full precision of the A/D converter. In a digital multimeter the signal under test is converted to a voltage and an amplifier with electronically controlled gain preconditions the signal.

The following items are used for basic measurement of voltages, currents, and components in the circuit under test. Voltmeter (Measures voltage) Ohmmeter (Measures resistance) Ammeter, e.g. Galvanometer or Milliammeter (Measures current) Multimeter e.g., VOM (Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter) or DMM (Digital Multimeter) (Measures all of the above)
When testing power supply circuits, a high-impedance connection (that is, a nearly open-circuit fault such as a burned switch contact or wire joint) in the power path might still allow enough voltage/current through to register on a high-impedance digital voltmeter, but it probably can't actuate the solenoid voltmeter. For use with high ...

(Includes: DVM and VTVM) VU meter: Measures the level of AF signals in Volume units Cathode Ray Oscilloscope (CRO)
A circuit diagram (or: wiring diagram, electrical diagram, elementary diagram, electronic schematic) is a graphical representation of an electrical circuit. A pictorial circuit diagram uses simple images of components, while a schematic diagram shows the components and interconnections of the circuit using standardized symbolic representations.
A sample-and-hold circuit that acquires the input voltage V in. An analog voltage comparator that compares V in to the output of a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). A successive-approximation register that is updated by results of the comparator to provide the DAC with a digital code whose accuracy increases each successive iteration.
