Electronic Test Devices (ATI02)

This comprehensive INVOLVE interactive multimedia training program was produced in association with the Instrument Society of America (ISA).

This four-lesson program trains participants on the principles and procedures of various test devices.

Prerequisites

This lesson is designed for participants familiar with basicdigital electronic theory. Knowledge of the functions of electronic instruments such as pressure, temperature, flow, level, and weight transmitters is recommended.

Description

This lesson describes the operation of electronic test devices as well as the measurement units used with typical test procedures. The lesson also presents the operation of multimeters and multifunction electronic calibrators in electronic test procedures.

Objectives

Identify the electronic instrument or device that utilizes an electronic value as part of its normal operating procedures. Identify safety procedures associated with the operation of electronic test devices. Describe the function of each user control of a multimeter. Zero the meter display of an analog multimeter. Measure an electronic input value of a multimeter. Describe the function of each user control of a multi- function electronic calibrator. Measure an electronic input value of a multi-function electronic calibrator. Generate an electronic value to test an instrument using a multi-function electronic calibrator.
