Digital Multimeters

Digital multimeters are a must for anyone who is involved in electronics with hobby and home applications, in laboratories, electronic workshops, or for field repair work. Anyone that is interested in working with electricity at any level can benefit from using some form of digital multimeter to make measurements of current, voltage, resistance and continuity. Of course, a multimeter is a necessity for anyone who plans to trouble shoot electronic or electrical circuits. Some of the digital Multimeters we carry on our website include those that measure capacitance, resistance, temperature, voltage, current and digital Multimeters that can be used with your PC. We carry a large selection of both digital Multimeters and analog meters for almost every possible type of application. Digital Multimeters are measuring devices that are used to measure electrical quantities such as capacitance, current, frequency, voltage, resistance, temperature, and period. The basic functionality of a digital multimeter includes measurement of potential in volts, current in amps, and resistance in ohms. Digital multimeters are used in many different fields and for a variety of applications to find electronic and electrical problems. For the most part the handheld digital multimeters are the most popular type of digital multimeter used today. Today’s technologies have allowed what was once a rather cumbersome piece of test equipment to become quite portable. An example of this portability is the Pocket Digital Multimeter that is available on our website Digital multimeters are used to make both specific and special measurements. Some specific measurements include A/C current and voltage, D/C current and voltage, capacitance, resistance, and frequency. Some special types of measurements include a continuity test with an audible signal, diode and transistor test and maximum or minimum or peak spike measurement. Whether you are a hobbyist or a service technician, Electronic Toolbox has the digital multimeter you are looking for. If you can’t find it here on our website, then please call us at 800-872-9456. Our sales staff will be happy to assist you.
