SELECT MEASURING

INSTRUMENTS
LYSSA G. SABIAGA, LPT
MEASURING INSTRUMENTS:
1. Multimeter (VOM) - A multimeter or a multitester, also
known as a VOM, is an electronic measuring instrument
that combines severa measurement functions in one unit. A
typical multimeter can measure voltage (Volt), current
(Ampere), and resistance (Ohm). Analog multimeter uses a
micro ammeter with a moving pointer to display readings.
Voltmeter – is an instrument for measuring electric potential in
volts.
Ex. 220 volts
TYPES OF MULTI-METER OR
MULTI-TESTER:
1. ANALOG MULTI-METER
OR MULTI-TESTER (VOM) -
USES A MICRO AMMETER
WITH A MOVING POINTER TO
DISPLAY READINGS.
DIGITAL MULTIMETERS
(DMM, DVOM) - HAVE A
NUMERIC DISPLAY AND
MAY ALSO SHOW A
GRAPHICAL BAR
REPRESENTING THE
MEASURED VALUE

2. CABLE TESTER - IS AN
ELECTRONIC DEVICE USED TO
VERIFY THE ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS IN A SIGNAL CABLE
OR OTHER WIRED ASSEMBLY. BASIC
CABLE TESTERS ARE CONTINUITY
TESTERS THAT VERIFY THE
EXISTENCE OF A CONDUCTIVE PATH
BETWEEN ENDS OF THE CABLE AND
THE CORRECT WIRING OF
CONNECTORS ON THE CABLE.
3. LOOPBACK, OR LOOP-BACK
ADAPTER - REFERS TO THE
ROUTING OF ELECTRONIC
SIGNALS, DIGITAL DATA
STREAMS, OR FLOWS OF ITEMS
BACK TO THEIR SOURCE
WITHOUT INTENTIONAL
PROCESSING OR MODIFICATION.
THIS IS PRIMARILY A MEANS OF
TESTING / MEASURING THE
COMMUNICATIONS
INFRASTRUCTURE.
4.LOGIC PROBE - IS A HAND-HELD TEST
PROBE USED FOR ANALYZING AND
TROUBLESHOOTING THE LOGICAL
STATES (BOOLEAN 0 OR 1) OF A DIGITAL
CIRCUIT.

LOGIC PROBE / DIGITAL LOGIC TESTER


IS ABLE TO DETECT LINES THAT ARE AT
THE DIGITAL OR LOGIC HIGH STATE. IT
WILL INDICATE THIS TYPICALLY WITH
A LED WHICH IS OFTEN COLORED RED.
IT CAN ALSO INDICATE A LOGIC OR
DIGITAL LOW OFTEN COLORED GREEN.
DIRECTIONS: MATCH EACH OF THE COMPONENTS IN COLUMN A WITH ITS DESCRIPTION
IN COLUMN B. WRITE YOUR ANSWERS IN YOUR TLE-CSS ACTIVITY NOTEBOOK.

COLUMN A COLUMN B

1. Logic Probe A. Uses moving pointer to display rating


2. Cable Tester B. Indicates high digital and low digital state
3. Analog Tester C. Uses digital display to display rating
4. Loopback adaptor 5. D. Verifies the electrical connections in a signal
Digital Tester cable or other wired assembly
