Digital Measuring Instruments

Digital measuring instruments are measuring instruments that are frequently used in the electrical field. These instruments are used to measure electrical quantities precisely and give more accurate results than analog measuring instruments. In addition, digital gauges display measurement results digitally, making it easy to read.

Digital measuring instruments used in the electrical field include various measuring instruments such as multimeters, ammeters, voltmeters, wattmeters, oscilloscopes, frequency meters, and capacitance meters.

Multimeters are a multi-purpose instrument used to measure electrical quantities. These instruments can measure electrical quantities such as voltage, current, and resistance. Also, some multimeters can measure capacitance and frequency.

Ammeters are used to measure electric current. These instruments can measure direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) currents.

Voltmeters are used to measure voltage. These instruments can measure direct voltage (DC) and alternating voltage (AC).

Wattmeters are used to measure power. These instruments can measure DC or AC powers and calculate different types of power, such as real power, apparent power, and effective power.

Oscilloscopes are used to show time-dependent variations of electrical signals. These instruments graphically display electrical signals and are used to analyze signal waveforms and frequency.

Frequency meters are used to measure the frequency of electrical signals.

Capacitance meters are used to measure the capacitance of capacitors. These instruments can also be used to measure variable capacitance capacitors.
