KEY POINTS:
 MOST COMMON TYPES OF
METERS USED IN
ELECTRONICS
DIFFERENT TYPES OF METERS
USED IN ELECTRONICS
1.) VOLTMETER:
 A voltmeter is a meter used to
measure voltage. It is typically
connected in parallel with a
circuit element to measure the
voltage across that element.
2.) AMMETER:
 An ammeter is a meter used to
measure current. It is typically
connected in series with a
circuit element to measure the
current flowing through that
element.
3.) OHMMETER:
 An ohmmeter is a meter used to
measure resistance. It is
typically used to measure the
resistance of a resistor or other
circuit element.
4.) WATTMETER:
 A wattmeter is a meter used to
measure power. It is typically
used to measure the power
delivered to a load, such as a
motor or a light bulb.
5.) MULTIMETER:
 A multimeter is a versatile
meter that can measure several
electrical quantities, including
voltage, current, and resistance.
It can also be used to test
continuity and diodes.
6.) FREQUENCY METER:
 A frequency meter is a meter
used to measure the frequency
of an electrical signal. It is
typically used to measure the
frequency of an oscillator or
other signal generator.
7.) POWER FACTOR METER
 A power factor meter is a meter
used to measure power factor,
which is a measure of how
efficiently electrical power is
being used. It is typically used
to measure the power factor of
motors and other types of
electrical loads.
8.) LUXMETER:
 A luxmeter is a meter used to
measure the intensity of light. It
is typically used to measure the
brightness of displays or other
light sources.
9.) SOUND LEVEL METER:
 A sound level meter is a meter
used to measure the intensity of
sound. It is typically used to
measure the loudness of audio
signals.
10.) OSCILLOSCOPE:
ELECTRONICS:
 An oscilloscope is an
instrument used to display and
analyze signals in the time
domain. It can be used to
measure voltage and current
waveforms, as well as
frequency, phase, and other
signal characteristics.
11.) FUNCTION GENERATOR:
 A function generator is an
instrument used to generate
different types of electrical
waveforms, such as sine,
square, and triangular waves.
12.) SPECTRUM ANALYZER:
 A spectrum analyzer is an
instrument used to analyze and
display the frequency spectrum
of a signal. It is useful for
identifying and analyzing the
frequency content of a signal.
13.) LOGIC ANALYZER:
 A logic analyzer is an
instrument used to capture and
analyze digital signals. It can
be used to debug and analyze
digital circuits and systems.
14.) POWER SUPPLY:
 A power supply is an
instrument used to provide
electrical power to electronic
circuits and devices. It can be
used to provide a steady DC
voltage or a variable voltage
and current.
15.) LCR METER:
 A power supply is an
instrument used to provide
electrical power to electronic
circuits and devices. It can be
used to provide a steady DC
voltage or a variable voltage
and current.
16.) NETWOR ANALYZER:
 A network analyzer is an
instrument used to measure the
frequency response and other
characteristics of electrical
networks, such as filters and
amplifiers.
17.) SIGNAL GENERATOR:
 A signal generator is an
instrument used to generate
electrical signals, such as sine
waves, square waves, and pulse
trains, at a specific frequency
and amplitude.
18.) DIGITAL MULTIMETER:
 A digital multimeter is a
multimeter that displays the
measurement results in digital
form. It is more accurate and
easier to read than an analog
multimeter.
19.) CLAMP METER:
 A clamp meter is a type of
multimeter that can measure
current without breaking the
circuit. It is useful for
measuring current in high-
power circuits and in situations
where it is difficult to access
the circuit.

20.) VOLTAGE TESTER:

 A voltage tester is an
instrument used to test the
presence of voltage in a circuit.
It can be used to detect the
presence of AC or DC voltage.

21.) FREQUENCY FACTOR:

 A frequency counter is an
instrument used to measure the
frequency of an electrical
signal. It is useful for
measuring the frequency of
periodic signals, such as sine
waves and square waves.

22.) THERMOMETER:
 A thermometer is an instrument
used to measure temperature. It
can be used to measure the
temperature of electronic
components and circuits.

23.) INFRARED THERMOMETER:

 An infrared thermometer is a
thermometer that uses infrared
radiation to measure the
temperature of an object. It is
useful for measuring the
temperature of electronic
components without making
physical contact with them.

24.) PRESSURE GAUGE:

 A pressure gauge is an
instrument used to measure the
pressure of a gas or liquid. It
can be used to measure the
pressure of gas-filled electronic
components, such as vacuum
tubes and gas discharge tubes.
