  • In this video we look at The Diode Test mode, resistance and continuity on your multimeter. Learn how to use which mode when and where, for both in circuit and out of circuit testing. In part one learn the difference between Diode and resistance mode and look at out of circuit component testing. Part two will concentrate on in circuit testing

    Can you help please? I've got two multimeters , one small fluke and a big bench multimeter I bought. When I do diode readings , they're different on both multimeters. When I do the reading on the bench multimeter it's different to the readings I get off the fluke multimeter by a lot . Does that mean one of my multimeters is broken? Thanks

    • @UltraUltaderdritte
      @UltraUltaderdritte ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No necessarily, they may simply use different constant currents in diode mode. As the junction voltage depends on the current you will get different voltage readings. Just measure the current in diode mode with the other meter in current mode and you will see how much they differ.

    • @TheEmbeddedHobbyist
      @TheEmbeddedHobbyist ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It depends on by how much they differ, if its more than a few percent then yes one is duf. A normal diode will read about .6 - .7V so the meter that reads close to that should be the good one.

    • @TheEmbeddedHobbyist
      @TheEmbeddedHobbyist ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The collector is normally a lower value as the collector is a larger junction on the silicon. This helps in the collection of electrons..

    • @LearnElectronicsRepair
      @LearnElectronicsRepair  ปีที่แล้ว

      @@UltraUltaderdritte Yes exactly that. In this video I showed that the Aneng could light blue and white LEDs and give a voltage reading, whereas the Fluke gives no voltage reading but still lights the LED. Different brands of multimeter will output different voltages and different constant currents in diode mode. This does not mean either of them are faulty, and there is no international standard that I know of which a multimeter should adhere to in this respect.
