ABCs of DMMs

Multimeter features and
functions explained
Application Note

Digital multimeters offer a wide selection of features. Choosing the
right meter for the job can be challenging unless you know what
the features do. This application note explains some of the most
common features and how they can be used in actual applications.

Introduction

Choosing your DMM

Multimeters. They’ve been
described as the tape measure
of the new millennium. But what
exactly is a digital multimeter
(DMM) and what can you do with
it? How do you make measurements safely? What features do
you need? What is the easiest
way to get the most out of your
meter? Which meter is best
suited to the environment you’re
working in? These and other
questions are answered in this
application note.
Technology is rapidly changing our world. Electrical and electronic circuitry seems to permeate
everything, and continues to get
more complex and smaller in
size. The communication industry booms with cell phones and
pagers, and Internet connections
have put more pressure on the
electronics technician. Servicing,
repairing, and installing this complex equipment requires diagnostic tools that provide accurate
information.
Let’s begin by explaining what
a DMM is. A DMM is simply an
electronic tape measure for making electrical measurements. It
may have any number of special
features, but mainly a DMM measures volts, ohms, and amperes.
Fluke DMMs are used for
examples in this application
note. Other DMMs may operate differently or offer different
features from the ones shown.
However, this application note
explains common uses and tips
for using most DMMs. In the next
few pages, we will discuss how
to use a DMM to make measurements, and how DMMs differ from
one another.

Choosing a DMM for the job
requires not only looking at basic
specifications, but also looking at
features, functions, and the overall value represented by a meter’s
design and the care taken in its
production.
Reliability, especially under
tough conditions, is more important than ever today. Another
important factor is safety. Providing adequate component spacing, double insulation, and input
protection helps prevent injury
and meter damage when they
are used improperly. Choose a
DMM designed to the latest, most
demanding safety standards.

Some basics
Resolution, digits and counts

Resolution refers to how fine a
measurement a meter can make.
By knowing the resolution of a
meter, you can determine if it is
possible to see a small change in
the measured signal. For example, if the DMM has a resolution
of 1 mV on the 4 V range, it is
possible to see a change of 1 mV
(1/1000 of a volt) while reading 1 V.
You wouldn’t buy a ruler
marked in one-inch (or one-centimeter) segments if you had to
measure down to a quarter inch
(or one millimeter). A thermometer that measures only in whole
degrees isn’t much use when
your normal temperature is
98.6 °F. You need a thermometer
with one-tenth degree resolution.
The terms digits and counts
are used to describe a meter’s
resolution. DMMs are grouped by
the number of counts or digits
they display.

A 31⁄2-digit meter can display
three full digits ranging from 0
to 9, and one “half” digit which
displays only a 1 or is left blank.
A 31⁄2-digit meter will display up
to 1,999 counts of resolution. A
41⁄2-digit meter can display up to
19,999 counts of resolution.
It is more precise to describe
a meter by counts of resolution
than by digits. Today’s 31⁄2-digit
meters may have enhanced resolution of up to 3,200, 4,000, or
6,000 counts.
For certain measurements,
3,200-count meters offer better
resolution. For example, a 1,999count meter won’t be able to
measure down to a tenth of a volt
if you are measuring 200 volts or
more. However, a 3,200-count
meter will display a tenth of a
volt up to 320 volts. This is the
same resolution as a more expensive 20,000-count meter until
you exceed 320 volts.

Accuracy

Accuracy is the largest allowable
error that will occur under specific operating conditions. In other
words, it is an indication of how
close the DMM’s displayed measurement is to the actual value of
the signal being measured.
Accuracy for a DMM is usually
expressed as a percent of reading. An accuracy of one percent
of reading means that for a displayed reading of 100 volts, the
actual value of the voltage could
be anywhere between 99 volts
and 101 volts.
Specifications may also include
a range of digits added to the
basic accuracy specification. This
indicates how many counts the
digit to the extreme right of the
display may vary. So the preceding accuracy example might be
stated as ± (1 % + 2). Therefore,
for a display reading of 100
volts, the actual voltage would
be between 98.8 volts and 101.2
volts.
Analog meter specifications
are determined by the error at
full scale, not at the displayed
reading. Typical accuracy for an
analog meter is ± 2 % or ± 3 %
of full scale. At one-tenth of full

 Fluke Education Partnership Program

scale, these become 20 percent
or 30 percent of reading. Typical basic accuracy for a DMM is
between ± (0.7 % + 1) and ±
(0.1 % + 1) of reading, or better.

(V) Voltage

Ohm’s law

Voltage, current, and resistance
in any electrical circuit can be
calculated by using Ohm’s Law,
which states that voltage equals
current times resistance (see Figure 1). Thus, if any two values in
the formula are known, the third
can be determined.
A DMM makes use of Ohm’s
Law to directly measure and display either ohms, amps, or volts.
On the following pages, you will
see just how easy it is to use a
DMM to find the answers you
need.

Digital and analog displays

For high accuracy and resolution,
the digital display excels, displaying three or more digits for
each measurement.
The analog needle display
is less accurate and has lower
effective resolution because you
have to estimate values between
the lines.
A bar graph shows changes
and trends in a signal just like an
analog needle, but is more durable
and less prone to damage.

(Ω)
Resistance

V=AxΩ
Where:
V = Volts
A = Current in Amps
Ω = Resistance in Ohms

Ohm’s Law explains the relationship between voltage,
current and resistance.
Put your finger over the value you want to find. Multiply
the remaining values if side-by-side; divide if one is over
the other. But it really is much easier just to use your DMM.

ABCs of DMMs: Multimeter features and functions explained

A DMM’s ability to measure
ac voltage can be limited by the
frequency of the signal. Most
DMMs can accurately measure ac
voltages with frequencies from
50 Hz to 500 Hz, but a DMM’s ac
measurement bandwidth may be
hundreds of kilohertz wide. Such
a meter may read a higher value
because it is “seeing” more of a
complex ac signal. DMM accuracy specifications for ac voltage
and ac current should state the
frequency range along with the
range’s accuracy.

How to make voltage
measurements

1	 Select V~ (ac) or V (dc), as
desired.
2.	 Plug the black test probe into
the COM input jack. Plug the
red test probe into the V input
jack.
3.	 If the DMM has manual ranging only, select the highest
range so as not to overload the
input.
4.	 Touch the probe tips to the
circuit across a load or power
source (in parallel to the
circuit).
5.	 View the reading, being sure
to note the unit of measurement.
Note: For dc readings of the correct polarity (±), touch the red
test probe to the positive side of
the circuit, and the black probe
to the negative side or circuit
ground. If you reverse the connections, a DMM with autopolarity will merely display a minus
sign indicating negative polarity.
With an analog meter, you risk
damaging the meter.
Note: 	 1/1000 V = 1 mV
	
1000 V = 1 kV
High-voltage probes are available for TV and CRT repair,
where voltages can reach 40 kV
(see Figure 3).
Caution: These probes are not
intended for electrical utility
applications in which high voltage is also accompanied by high
energy. Rather, they are intended
for use in low-energy applications.

Figure 2. Three voltage signals: dc, ac sine wave, and
non-sinusoidal ac signal.

Resistance, continuity
and diodes
Resistance

Resistance is measured in ohms
(Ω). Resistance values can vary
greatly, from a few milliohms
(mΩ) for contact resistance to billions of ohms for insulators. Most
DMMs measure down to
0.1 Ω, and some measure as high
as 300 MΩ (300,000,000 ohms).
Infinite resistance (open circuit) is
read as “OL” on the Fluke meter
display, and means the resistance
is greater than the meter can
measure.
Resistance measurements must
be made with the circuit power
off—otherwise, the meter or circuit could be damaged. Some
DMMs provide protection in the
ohms mode in case of accidental
contact with voltages. The level
of protection may vary greatly
among different DMM models.
For accurate, low-resistance
measurements, resistance in the
test leads must be subtracted
from the total resistance measured. Typical test lead resistance
is between 0.2 Ω and 0.5 Ω. If
the resistance in the test leads is
greater than 1 Ω, the test leads
should be replaced.

Figure 3. Accessories, such as high-voltage probes,
extend the voltage measurement range of a DMM.

If the DMM supplies less than
0.6 V dc test voltage for measuring resistance, it will be able to
measure the values of resistors that
are isolated in a circuit by diodes
or semiconductor junctions. This
often allows you to test resistors on
a circuit board without unsoldering
them (see Figure 4).

Figure 4. For measuring resistance in the presence of diodes, DMM
test voltages are kept below 0.6 V so the semiconductor junctions do
not conduct current.

ABCs of DMMs: Multimeter features and functions explained

There are two basic types of
current probes: current transformers, which are used to measure
ac current only, and Hall-Effect
probes, which are used to measure ac or dc current.
The output of a current transformer is typically 1 milliamp per
amp. A 100 amp value is reduced
to 100 milliamps, which can be
safely measured by most DMMs.
The probe leads are connected to
the “mA” and “COM” input jacks,
and the meter function switch is
set to mA ac.
The output of a Hall-Effect
probe is 1 millivolt per amp, ac or
dc. For example, 100 A ac is converted to 100 mV ac. The probe
leads are connected to the “V” and
“COM” jacks. Set the meter function switch to the “V” or “mV”
scale, selecting V~ for ac current
or V for dc current measurements. The meter displays 1 millivolt for every amp measured.

Always make sure the
power is off before cutting
or unsoldering the circuit
and inserting the DMM for
current measurements.
Even small amounts of
current can be dangerous.

Safety

A transformer-type current probe, such as the one
depicted above, scales down the current being
measured. The DMM displays 1 mA for every amp
being measured.

Multimeter safety

Figure 5.

Making measurements safely
starts with choosing the proper
meter for the application as well
as the environment in which
the meter will be used. Once the
proper meter has been chosen,
you should use it by following
good measurement procedures.
Carefully read the instrument user
manual before use, paying particular attention to the WARNING
and CAUTION sections.
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) established
safety standards for working on
electrical systems. Make sure you
are using a meter that meets the
IEC category and voltage rating
approved for the environment
where the measurement is to be
made. For instance, if a voltage
measurement needs to be made in
an electrical panel with
480 V, then a meter rated Category III 600 V or 1000 V should
be used. This means the input
circuitry of the meter has been
designed to withstand voltage
transients commonly found in this
environment without harming the
user. Choosing a meter with this
rating which also has a UL, CSA,
VDE or TÜV certification means

 Fluke Education Partnership Program

the meter not only has been
designed to IEC standards, but
has been independently tested
and meets those standards. (See
Independent Testing sidebar on
page 6.)

Common situations that lead
to DMM failure:
1.	 Contact with ac power source
while test leads are plugged
into current jacks
2.	 Contact with ac power source
while in resistance mode
3.	 Exposure to high voltage
transients
4.	 Exceeding maximum input
limitations (voltage and
current)

Types of DMM protection
circuits:

1.	 Protection with automatic
recovery. Some meters have
circuitry that detects an overload condition and protects
the meter until the condition
no longer exists. After the
overload is removed, the DMM
automatically returns to normal operation. Usually used to
protect the ohms function from
voltage overloads.

Never attempt a voltage
measurement with the test
probes in the current jack.
Meter damage or personal
injury may result.

A Hall-Effect probe safely measures high-current ac
or dc values by scaling down the current being measured and converting this reduced current to a voltage. The DMM displays 1 mV for every amp.

2.	 Protection without
automatic recovery. Some
meters will detect an overload condition and protect the
meter, but will not recover
until the operator performs an
operation on the meter, such
as replacing a fuse.

Look for these safety
features in a DMM:

1.	 Fused current inputs.
2.	 Use of high-energy fuses
(600 V or more).
3.	 High-voltage protection in
resistance mode (500 V or
more).
4.	 Protection against voltage
transients (6 kV or more).
5.	 Safety-designed test leads
with finger guards and
shrouded terminals.
6.	 Independent safety organization approval/listing (e.g., UL
or CSA).

Safety checklist

3 Use a meter that meets
accepted safety standards for
the environment in which it
will be used.
3 Use a meter with fused current
inputs and be sure to check
the fuses before making current measurements.
3 Inspect test leads for physical
damage before making a measurement.
3 Use the meter to check continuity of the test leads.
3 Use only test leads that have
shrouded connectors and finger guards.
3 Use only meters with recessed
input jacks.
3 Select the proper function and
range for your measurement.
3 Be certain the meter is in good
operating condition.
3 Follow all equipment safety
procedures.
3 Always disconnect the “hot”
(red) test lead first.
3 Don’t work alone.
3 Use a meter that has overload
protection on the ohms function.
3 When measuring current without a current clamp, turn the
power off before connecting
into the circuit.
3 Be aware of high-current and
high-voltage situations and
use the appropriate equipment, such as high-voltage
probes and high-current
clamps.

Accessories and glossary Annunciator. A symbol that
DMM accessories

One very important requirement
of a DMM is that it can be used
with a wide variety of accessories. Many accessories are
available that can increase your
DMM’s measurement range and
usefulness, while making your
measurement tasks easier.
High-voltage probes and current probes scale down high
voltages and currents to a level
the DMM can safely measure.
Temperature probes convert your
DMM into a handy digital thermometer. RF probes can be used
to measure voltages at high frequencies.
Furthermore, a selection of
test leads, test probes, and test
clips can help you easily connect
your DMM to the circuit. Soft and
hard carrying cases protect your
DMM and conveniently store your
accessories with your DMM.

Meter ratings and capabilities vary by manufacturer.
Before working with a new meter, be sure to familiarize yourself with all operating and safety procedures for
that meter contained in the users manual.

Independent testing is the key to safety
compliance

How can you tell if you’re getting a genuine
CAT III or CAT II meter? It’s not always easy. It
is possible for a manufacturer to self-certify its
meters as CAT II or CAT III without any independent verification. Beware of wording such as
“Designed to meet specifications...” Designer’s
plans are never a substitute for an actual independent test. The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) develops and proposes
standards, but it is not responsible for enforcing
the standards.

 Fluke Education Partnership Program

Look for the symbol and listing number of
an independent testing lab such as UL, CSA,
TÜV or other recognized approval agency. That
symbol can only be used if the product successfully completed testing to the agency’s standard,
which is based on national/ international standards. UL 3111, for example, is based on IEC
1010. In an imperfect world, that is the closest
you can come to ensuring that the multimeter
you choose was actually tested for safety.
