Maintain measuring instruments

 Measuring instruments are not dropped to avoid damage.
 Measuring instruments are cleaned before and after using
 Proper storage of instruments is undertaken according to the
 manufacturer’s specifications and standard operating
procedure.
Measuring instruments in electronics are confined only to analog testers
and sometimes digital millimeter. Either way the maintenance of these
instruments is a priority in all electronics laboratory rooms.
Electronic Measuring Instruments

Aside from hand tools, measuring instruments are also needed for
more accurate and quality output. In this connection, three of the
most used instruments are presented here for you to be familiar with
their uses and the proper way of maintaining them.
Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter. It is equipment that combines three functions: as a

voltmeter that measures both ac and dc voltages; an ohmmeter that
measures resistance; and milliammeter that measures small amount of dc
current. As safety precautions in the maintenance of this instrument, the
following should be observed:
VOLT – OHM - Millimeter

 Always rest the function switch at 250V AC, if an OFF position is not
available in the instrument.
 For current and voltage measurements, always set the function switch in
the correct setting which is a little higher than the expected current or
voltage present in the circuit.
 Place the instrument in a cool dry place, away from any magnetic
devices, and free from vibrations.
Oscilloscope. An oscilloscope (commonly abbreviated CRO, for cathode-

ray oscilloscope, or scope) is a piece of electronic test equipment that
allows signal voltages to be viewed, usually as a two-dimensional graph of
one or more electrical potential differences (vertical axis) plotted as a
function of time or of some other voltage (horizontal axis).
.
Signal generator. A signal generator is a device which produces
simple waveforms
Such devices contain an electronic oscillator, a circuit that is capable of

creating a repetitive waveform. These are typically used in simple
electronics repair and design; where they are used to stimulate a circuit
under test. Oscilloscope and signal generator should be given regular
checkup for at least once a week by connecting them to the power line.
This will help prevent their components from having moisture that might
cause trouble in their circuits. In any activity involving skills, it is a standard
procedure that you must always use the right tool or equipment properly
that would fit in a particular task. In spite of this reminder or caution, some
students abuse the use of tools and still practice the following common
faults that must NOT be done.
QUIZ 1
1. What is the instrument that serves as 3 measuring instruments in one?
A) Audio Generator C) Signal Generator
B) Oscilloscope D) VOM
2. What is a device which produces simple wave forms?
A) Audio Amplifier C) Signal tracer
B) VOM D) Signal Generator
3. Where is the function switch rested if an off position is not available in
the VOM?

B) 50 VAC D) 250 VAC
4. Place instruments in a cool dry place and away from any ____________
devices.
A) Other instruments C) Magnetic devices

5. What measuring instrument should be given regular checkup by
connecting them to power line?
A) Capacitor Tester C) Oscilloscope
B) DMM D) VOM
