LAB – 1 INTRODUCTION TO DIGITAL MULTIMETER

1. Objectives:
a. How to use DMM (Digital Multimeter) to measure (DC) Voltage and
Current, Resistance
and Diode
b. How to use Bread board.

2. Appratus Required:
a. DMM (Digital Multi-meter)
b. Resistor
c. Wires
d. Power supply

3. Safety precations:
a. De-energize and discharge the circuit completely before connecting or
disconnecting a multimeter.
b. Never apply power to the circuit while measuring resistance with a
multimeter.
c. Connect the multimeter in series with the circuit for current measurements
and in parallel for voltage measurements.
d. Observe proper DC polarity when measuring DC.
e. When you are finished with a multimeter, switch it to the OFF position, if
available. If there is no OFF position, switch the multimeter to the highest
ac voltage position.
f. Always start with the highest voltage or current range.
g. Select a final range that allows a reading near the middle of the scale.

4. What is Digital Multimeter?


a. A Multimeter is a device used to measure Voltage, Current, Resistance,
Diode, Frequency and Capacitance depending upon the function selected.
1) A Voltmeter is used to measure voltage across a component or circuit.
2) An Ammeter is used to measure current through a circuit.
3) An Ohmmeter is used to measure resistance.

5. How to measure Voltage?


a. Select voltage function scale
b. To measure AC voltage selects AC function scale.
c. To measure DC voltage selects DC function scale.
d. Connect DMM probes in parallel to desire component or circuit.

6. How to measure Current?


a. Select Current function scale.
b. To measure AC Current selects AC function scale.
c. To measure DC Current selects DC function scale.
d. Connect DMM probes in series to desire component or circuit.
7. How to measure Resistance?
a. Select Resistance function scale.
b. Remove power if necessary and isolate the component
from the circuit under test.
c. Connect DMM probes in parallel to desire component or circuit.

8. How to check Diode?


a. Select Diode function scale.
b. Isolate the component from the circuit under test.
c. Connect DMM probes in parallel to Diode and see reading.
d. If DMM show 0.7V then diode pin which is connected with red probe is
anode and other diode pin is cathode.
e. If DMM show OL its mean that diode is reverse biased.
f. If for both steps DMM show reading 0.7V or OL it means that diode is
faulty.

10. Comments / Deductions


a. Deductions from the Digital Multimeter (DMM) Experiment
1) Ohm's Law Validation: The measurements confirmed Ohm's Law (V =
IR), reinforcing fundamental electrical principles.
2) Measurement Accuracy: The DMM's precision is crucial for reliable
circuit diagnostics, as inaccuracies can lead to errors.
3) Circuit Dynamics: Changes in voltage and current readings highlight
the interdependence of circuit components, emphasizing the need for
a holistic understanding.
4) Real-World Relevance: Skills acquired using a DMM are applicable in
electronics repair, automotive diagnostics, and industrial maintenance.
5) Safety Practices: Correct probe placement and safe measuring
techniques are essential to prevent circuit damage and ensure user
safety.
6) Practical Learning: Hands-on use of a DMM enhances understanding
and retention of electrical concepts, demonstrating the value of
practical experimentation.
