Using a multimeter to check the electrical systems
Introduction
This instrument allows you to measure resistance, voltages, and current
values. Multimeters can be divided into two basic
types: analogue and digital display multimeter. An analogue multimeter has a
pointer display. The dial is marked with the
scales to be used for measurement of ...
