We have all had difficulty testing diodes in-circuit. Most DMM’s have a diode Vf function that measures forward drop, but what is the normal voltage drop? Analog VOM’s attempt to measure resistance of ...

While using a digital multimeter to diagnose electrical problems on customers’ equipment, I frequently hear the comment, “I’ve got one of those multimeter things, but I never learned how to use it.” ...

Performing single-point pass/fail DC tests on packaged diodes is critical to ensure compliance with manufacturers’ specifications and weed out defective devices before they are shipped. Most types of ...
