  1. DC ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS METER USAGE

  2. DC ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS INTRODUCTION • Students will be able to Measure Electrical Quantities. • Students will be able to Calculate Electrical Quantities

  3. SEMICONDUCTORS • You will need to be familiar with the basics of your digital multi-meter to successfully test the different components you will be using in your experiments. • The most basic test is a continuity test using the ohms scale typically set to RX-1 or Ω.

  4. SEMICONDUCTORS • Some meters have a chime indicator for continuity tests. • Here we are testing our meter by touching the leads together, we should have a very low resistance (only the resistance of the test leads is indicated.

  5. SEMICONDUCTORS • If we get an “OL” reading something is wrong, OL stands for “open loop” or infinite resistance, it may be necessary to check the fuse if you read “OL”.

  6. SEMICONDUCTORS • Notice the warning, DE-ENGERIZE CIRCUIT FIRST. NO SOUND INDICATES AN OPEN CIRCUIT

  7. SEMICONDUCTORS • Note: we have the same warning!

  8. SEMICONDUCTORS • We set the dial to “V” and then use the button to toggle to “DC”.

  9. SEMICONDUCTORS • When measuring “AC”, select the “V” setting and your meter automatically defaults to AC voltage.
