How to Use a Multimeter to Measure Voltage

How to Use a Multimeter to Measure Voltage

The measurement process of a digital multimeter involves converting the measured value into a direct current voltage signal through a conversion circuit, then converting the analog voltage into a digital quantity via an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. The result is then counted by an electronic counter and displayed directly on the screen as a digital readout. … Read more
