A battery-operated volt-ohm-meter (VOM), or multitester, is a simple, relatively inexpensive testing device that's well worth acquiring if you plan to do electrical repairs. A VOM can tell you whether ...

Mark Persons shares why a multimeter is his go-to instrument for initially figuring out what is going on or going wrong in a ...

Berkeley Lab researchers have developed a peel-and-stick electricity meter which allows individual circuits in the home and industry to be accurately monitored. It is an alternative to current ...

My wish list for highly-integrated measurement instruments includes impedance or RLC meters. These instruments are especially interesting because they allow for so many different design alternatives ...

The analog DC ammeter with an actual full-scale value of 10 milliamperes in your transmitter that measures 1 ampere of plate current has failed and the only linear meter that fits in the same space ...

The Fnirsi LC1020E LCR meter is an affordable yet powerful tool for measuring resistance, capacitance, and inductance with ...

How a nanopower converter can help extend battery lifetime. Example of a water meter incorporating a nanopower switching regulator. Battery-operated circuits must be energy-efficient for the battery ...
