Study Notes

Multitester Overview

A multitester, sometimes called a VOM (voltmeter, ohmmeter, milliammeter), is the best instrument for measuring voltage, resistance, and current.
Two main types exist: analog and digital.

Multitester Parts

Pointer

The needle-shaped rod that moves across the meter scale.
Mechanically linked to a moving coil.
Displays measured values on the multitester scale.

Range Selector Knob (Selector Switch)

Allows selection of different functions and measurement ranges on the meter.

Adjustment Screw

Used to align the pointer to the zero position on the scale.

Scale

A series of markings for reading the value of a measured quantity.
Voltage and current scales typically have equal divisions (linear).
Resistance scales have unequal divisions (logarithmic).

Zero-ohm Adjusting Knob

Used to precisely adjust the pointer's zero position before resistance measurements.

Test Probes

Used to connect the circuit to the electrical components being tested.
Red probe is positive (+).
Black probe is negative (-).
