DC Fundamentals Unit 1 – Trainer Familiarization
Exercise 1 – Instrument Familiarization .....................................................................................
EXERCISE OBJECTIVE
When you have completed this exercise, you will be able to activate a power source on the
F.A.C.E.T. system. You will verify your results by measuring the output voltage of the power
source with a multimeter.
DISCUSSION
- Multimeters measure electrical quantities of current: resistance, and voltage.
- An analog multimeter has numbers printed on a scale that, in conjunction with a range
switch, covers the measurement values possible with the multimeter. - A digital multimeter directly displays the value measured.
- Digital multimeters are recommended for this exercise.
