Great lecture, as I read this 9 years later! Surprised you did not mention the main advantage of analog meters over digital meters. With an analog meter it easy to visualize fluctuating signals as opposed to a digital meter displaying rapidly changing numbers.

Great lecture! Thanks for the closed captioning, I'm deaf and always appreciate seeing videos with subtitles, thanks again.

I've watched so many videos trying to understand how to read analogue metter.this presentation is the best.thanks i learned what i needed to learn.thumbs up

Thank you professor, I grew up with analog and migrated to digital, but still use both. You are correct in pointing out there are advantages to using analog meters in certain applications. I own a Triplett meter 630 NS and a Fluke 867B digital meter, both have a place on my bench.

Thanks! I inherited the same meter from my pops. It's been around over 40 years and it still works. No cracks or chips. 😁

So much more thorough than my teacher!! Thankyou!

This video just saved my ass ten years after posted

THANK YOU! Had to test battery on the truck. All I could find was my old analog voltmeter. Your vid showed me how to read the results when selected to 50v!

This is the best explanation I've seen so far

i love learning about electricity on KZread.

very well and clear presentation. excellent for the novice and great refresher for the experts.

Thank you, say hi to Mr. Lester, best teacher I ever had in my life! LATTC!

Great tutorial for the best analog meter out there!

very helpful, we're going to take exam with this topic and i think i'm starting to love this

Best lecture i've ever watch and learn using analog multimeter.thank you sir!

Thanks for this informative video .

Very helpful and informative for a newbie like me -- thank you for sharing!

I have the same model of the multi-meter. Thank you for the good information

PURE GOLD. Thank you!

Thanks for your time Professor. Very good explanation.

Thank you professor! Learn something new in 2020 :)

Cheers. Saving me for this mid term

Phenomenal video thank you so much!

It's only smart to know how to use both an Analog and a Digital meter. This video is very helpful for the beginners and as a refresher. Currently own both types.

Thanks David! You mentioned an analog has some advantages over digital but didn't say what they are. Besides looking cool, what advantages does it have?

it was so useful, thanks so much!

Love ur video well detailed thanks

thanks awesome vid.

Nice. I need one of those giant meters for teaching my instruments course.

Awesome video.

Excellent information.

Instructor failed to mention that you must rezero the meter when changing R value multipliers.

That's the jumbo size multi-meter; bigger than any of those fancy digital meters. Thumbs up based on the meter alone. Now I'll watch the video.

Thank you professor this help me alot

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!

I really wish this video was longer than 5 mins. Seems like he could cover more important functions.

Thanks man!

Nice.., perfectly explained.., thanks..,

Thank you!

Muito bom, legal esse voltímetro em escala maior ficou bem ilustrativo!

Great Video.. Thanks..

Reminds me of a basics electricy class from the 70s

That was a wonderful lecture and practical demonstration of the analog meter reading. Thank you Sir for your valuable explanation. 👍🇮🇳

my multitester is a sunma brand yx-360TRe-l-b, x1 cannot be adjusted to zero, even though the battery is new and the avometer is also new, please help me

Thanks it helps me alot

You should zero your meter AFTER selecting your ohm scale. This is because some meters use different sets of internal batteries, depending on the scale selected.

I can see the meter from away back?

We used Simpson analog on F-18’s because when you’re looking for just a pulse of voltage on the weapon system it’s easier to see with a analog

I have the USN military version the an/psm4a meter. I do remember using the simpson 260 vom. As to parallax problem some meters had a mirror in a band across the meter face. You would look until you only saw the needle. Is there anyway to get the an/psm-4a meter calibrated. the PSM-4a comes in a very heavy black case. The meter is made rugged to serve in harsh conditions. Do they still make something like the simpson 260. It was a big deal, 20K ohms per volt so it would not load down active circuits. USN 60-80 retired 1980

The Simpson 260 is still in production in 2021.

Why is there a 500 volt setting and how would I read it?

Factories, large commercial, and some work shops have 120, 240, and 480 volt wiring. Residential and small commercial usually only have 120 and 240 volt wiring.

Thanks for the lesson! One question: You zeroed out the ohmmeter at R X 10,000. I couldn't do that on mine unless I set the scale at R X 1?

@Torogol85

Hmmm... still no answer. The ohmmeter can be zeroed on the three resistance ranges. The meter must be zeroed each time a user switches resistance ranges

@kb9knd

Most analog meters use a 1.5 volt battery for the lower ohm ranges and a 9 volt or higher battery for the highest ranges. If your meter works on the lower ranges and not the higher, check your high voltage battery.

thanks

How to know where will i set the selector range in measuring resistance? Can i set it to x1 if i will measure a 50ohms resistance? because in voltage the selector must be greater than the battery that you're testing. Is it the same in resistance or not?

You must take a look to the highest resistance value in order to set a meter on the proper resistance range. The R times 1 range is good for 50 ohms because the Rx1 reaches up to 2 thousand ohms

Thank you. Very helpful. I just wanted to see if me car battery was fully charged from an overnight 12V charging. Thanks again. I love KZread.

Good video. It would have been easier to learn if you had the camera on the huge model of the meter instead of the camera being so far away & including you in all the frames. I can't even see the numbers.

What about how to read current

great video! i love your trainer where can i get one of those?

how do you do the math if the pin isnt exactly on a line and is between lines

itü physics brought me there

reads approx. 129 VAC, 25.9 VAC, and 5.19 VAC. Rouuuughly. Hard to tell without Parallax correction. ;) boby bober is correct. I teach this as well, and that is a REALLY common mistake when showing others how to read the analog scales. Funny though he even points it out at the end.

@warplanner8852

So that's why one should always opt for the VOMs with the mirrored scales. Parallax is a surprising phenomenon.

Nasty stuff, I'm glad I never have to deal with those and just use a digital meter from now on! So what can an analogue meter do that a digital one can't? He never mentioned it even though he said he would!

I’m just here because my Arthur told me to watch this video

Sir anlog meter reading ameter is verified one video please

Let me get this right. You put the probes where you need to to measure the voltage, resistance, or current and then that little needle thingy actually points to the value? What a concept! Can someone burn up another ten minutes and tell me how to read my wristwatch?

Nakakatakot naman itsura mo teacher mukha kang galit palage

all the electricians i know and work with can not use a meter ( analog or digital) ,they just use a non-contact tester , they don't know what PV, PPV ,RMS means etc,etc ,on a analog meter ,the meter for them is useless ,the digital meter with all the functions ,,,,,,, like NPN,PNP , MFD, HZ, etc,etc,etc,etc they should stay away from them , they was made for electronics technicians not for electricians , most the electricians only have on they truck a NEC book and a non-contact tester on they pockets ,but 99% of them don't even have a code book on a job site because they are lost on a code book also You dont even know what is up there Sir ,i fond electric engineers can't use a meter ,,,,,,,i see that in my life ,,,,,, sir i'm 90 years old ,i see all in my career and in my life

First off. Quit calling yourself a "professor." You are a teacher. A professor would be a hell of a lot smarter and have a Ph.D.
