Analog Multimeters///AHM - book
- Analog multimeters can sometimes be difficult to read because they display data as a needle moving along a scale—this can be a benefit because the display of increased voltage (or resistance and so forth) is tangible, but can be hard for those unfamiliar with the scale.Analog Multimeter FunctionLike their digital counterparts, analog multimeters can measure a range of different electrical outputs, such as voltage, current, and resistance—as done with digital multimeters, a function must be selected and a corresponding range must be set. However, the way analog multimeters operate is fundamentally different than how digital multimeters operate.Analog multimeters do take some energy from the circuit they are testing, whereas digital multimeters operate independent of circuit energy. In order to give an accurate reading analog multimeters need a high level of sensitivity—otherwise, the results may be skewed. When testing for
