How To Use A Multimeter

by Richard A. Neuhaus

Overview

The Neuhaus Science Projects Guide, How to Use a Multimeter, is written for students in the junior/senior high school.

Some science projects require the use of a multimeter/multitester (also known as a VOM). This booklet explains how to use a multimeter to obtain the data needed, without going into the technical details behind the operations. Various photographs and illustrations augment the text.
