Types of test equipment
Types of test equipment Basic equipment Voltmeter (Measures voltage)The following items are used for basic measurement of voltages, currents, and components in the circuit under test. Ohmmeter (Measures resistance) Ammeter, e.g. Galvanometer or Milliameter (Measures current) Multimeter e.g., VOM (Volt-Ohm-Milliameter) or DMM (Digital Multimeter) (Measures all of the above) RLC Meter e.g., RLC meter or Resistance,Inductance and capacitance meter (measure RLC values) Power supplies Signal generator Digital pattern generator Pulse generator Frequency counter (Measures frequency) Test probes The following are used for stimulus of the circuit under test: Oscilloscope (Displays voltage as it changes over time)The following analyze the response of the circuit under test: And connecting it all together: Advanced or less commonly used equipment Meters Solenoid vo...
