Some important electrical instruments that will be of great benefit to your use in real life.

Voltmeter :

A basic electronics device or instrument used to measure voltage or electrical potential difference between two points in electrical circuits is known as voltmeter. There are two types of voltmeters: analog and digital. An analog voltmeter moves a pointer across a scale in proportional to the voltage of the electrical circuit. A digital voltmeter measures an unknown input voltage by converting the voltage to a digital value by using a converter and then displays the voltage in numeric form.

Ohmmeter :

An electrical instrument that measures electrical resistance is known as an ohmmeter. The instrument used to measure small value of resistance are micro-ohmmeters. Similarly meg-ohmmeters is used to make large resistance measurements. Resistance values are measured in ohms (Ω). Originally, ohmmeter is designed with a small battery to apply a voltage to a resistance.

Ammeter :

A measuring instrument which is used to measure the electric current in a circuit is known as an ammeter. The units of measurement for electric current is amperes (A) Earlier ammeters were laboratory instruments which depend on the earth’s magnetic field for operation.

The smaller currents can be measured by using milliammeters or micro ammeters, units of measuring the smaller current are in the milliampere or micro-ampere range. There are different types of ammeters such as moving-coil, moving magnet and moving-iron, etc.

Multimeter :

A multimeter an electronic instrument used to measure the three basic electrical characteristics: voltage, current and resistance. It has multiple functions and acts like ohmmeter, voltmeter and ammeter and also used for household wiring, electric motors, testing batteries and power supplies. The multimeter is a handheld device with a needle over a numeric LCD digital display for indication purpose. It is also used to test continuity between two points in an electrical circuit. There are three types of multimeters made available in the market such as: digital multimeter, analog multimeter and fluke multimeter.

LCR Meter :

LCR Meter name itself indicates that it is used to measure the inductance, capacitance and resistance of electronics components. The inductance, capacitance and resistance are denoted by the letters L, C, and R so it is named as LCR Meter. A variety of meters are made available in the market, but simple versions of LCR meters indicates impedance only for converting the values to capacitance or inductance.

Signal Generator :

A signal generator is also named as pitch generator, function generator or frequency generator is an electronic device used for generating electronic signals either in the analog or digital domains (repeating or non-repeating signals). Signal generators are used in testing, designing and repairing electro acoustic or electronic devices.

In general no electronic device is suitable for all applications. There are various types of signal generators with different applications and purposes. During the development in technology, compared to signal generators there are flexible and programmable software tone generators with embedded hardware units are made available in the market.

Oscilloscope :

The oscilloscope is an electronic test instrument that constantly obverses varying voltage signals as a two dimensional plot of one or more signals as a function of time. The other names for oscilloscope are oscillograph, cathode ray oscilloscope or digital storage oscilloscope. It is also used for converting non electrical signals such as vibration or sound into voltages and then displays the result.
