Normally, a typical multimeter is designed to measure parameters such as voltage, current and resistance over a wide range of values. This analog capacitance meter has 5 switched range values of 1nF, ...

To measure resistance, you usually have to take the resistor to be tested out of the circuit, and sometimes that’s impossible. If you’re using a multimeter, measuring very small resistances is ...

For years, I’ve looked for an affordable LCR meter to measure unknown components–especially surface-mount. I ran into the Smart Tweezers (Model ST3) a couple years ago and wrote up a short review.

RS has introduced the new Fluke 87V MAX true-RMS digital multimeter (DMM) designed for use by maintenance engineers in the most demanding industrial environments. The 87V MAX is an enhanced version of ...

Today I got a multimeter (nothing fancy, precision is +/-0.5% for DC current to tweak my lines (Antec Truecontrol).<BR><BR>Findings:<BR>- motherboard measurments are generally unreliable, for instance ...

When your car doesn’t start, often a low or dead battery is the culprit. Unfortunately, most vehicle owners do not check their battery until it fails. As preventative maintenance, the suggested best ...
