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.
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.
Multimeter e.g., VOM (Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter) or DMM (Digital Multimeter) (Measures all of the above) LCR meter - inductance (L), capacitance (C) and resistance (R) meter (measure LCR values) The following are used for stimulus of the circuit under test: Power supplies; Signal generator; Digital pattern generator; Pulse generator
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, ... Psophometer
Multimeters also function as ohmmeters when in resistance-measuring mode. An ohmmeter applies current to the circuit or component whose resistance is to be measured. It then measures the resulting voltage and calculates the resistance using Ohm’s law V = I R {\displaystyle V=IR} .
Instrumentation is a collective term for measuring instruments, used for indicating, measuring, and recording physical quantities.It is also a field of study about the art and science about making measurement instruments, involving the related areas of metrology, automation, and control theory.
A digital voltmeter (DVM) measures an unknown input voltage by converting the voltage to a digital value and then displays the voltage in numeric form. DVMs are usually designed around a special type of analog-to-digital converter called an integrating converter .
