Analog multimeter Digital multimeter. A multimeter (also known as a volt-ohm-milliammeter, volt-ohmmeter or VOM) [1] is a measuring instrument that can measure multiple electrical properties. [2] [3] A typical multimeter can measure voltage, resistance, and current, [4] in which case can be used as a voltmeter, ohmmeter, and ammeter.
Rear-panel of Rigol DS1074Z digital oscilloscope showing USB-B and Ethernet connectors that accept remote SCPI commands. [ 2 ] The Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments ( SCPI ; often pronounced "skippy") defines a standard for syntax and commands to use in controlling programmable test and measurement devices, such as automatic test ...
A digital clamp meter A multimeter with built-in clamp. Pushing the large button at the bottom opens the lower jaw of the clamp, allowing the clamp to be placed around a conductor. Pushing the large button at the bottom opens the lower jaw of the clamp, allowing the clamp to be placed around a conductor.
Ammeter and Voltmeter on a power supply. Electrical measurements are the methods, devices and calculations used to measure electrical quantities. Measurement of electrical quantities may be done to measure electrical parameters of a system.
Multimeter: General purpose instrument measures voltage, current and resistance (and sometimes other quantities as well) Network analyzer: Measures network parameters Ohmmeter: Measures the resistance of a component Oscilloscope: Displays waveform of a signal, allows measurement of frequency, timing, peak excursion, offset, ...

Distortion of a waveform True RMS Multimeter For the measurement of an alternating current the signal is often converted into a direct current of equivalent value, the root mean square (RMS). Simple instrumentation and signal converters carry out this conversion by filtering the signal into an average rectified value and applying a correction ...
Handheld LCR meter Benchtop LCR meter with 4-wire (Kelvin sensing) fixture. An LCR meter is a type of electronic test equipment used to measure the inductance (L), capacitance (C), and resistance (R) of an electronic component. [1]
For example, a meter with a sensitivity of 1000 ohms per volt would draw 1 milliampere at full scale voltage; if the full scale was 200 volts, the resistance at the instrument's terminals would be 200 000 ohms and at full scale, the meter would draw 1 milliampere from the circuit under test. For multi-range instruments, the input resistance ...
