Electronic measuring devices are tools used to monitor, measure and analyze electric quantities like voltage, current, power, etc. Electronic measuring instruments are of different types and work differently depending on their purpose. They are generally categorized as analog and digital. Analog instruments have a physical pointer over a calibrated scale to indicate the measurement, while digital ones have numerical displays. Some of the most common electronic measuring instruments include galvanometer, voltmeter, ammeter, and ohmmeter. Others are oscilloscope, signal generator, continuity tester, and a wattmeter.

Student-Friendly Measuring Tools for Electronics Learning

An ohmmeter works by passing a fixed current through the circuit under test and measuring the resistance of the component or circuit using Ohm’s law. A multimeter is an advanced electronic measuring instrument that combines the functions of an ammeter, voltmeter, and ohmmeter in one device. An oscilloscope is an advanced electronic measuring instrument that shows the waveform of electronic signals on screen and analyzes their behavior.

Measuring is a functional life skill that should be introduced to students early and reinforced throughout the curriculum. Shannon Adkins, TVI and former 1st grade teacher, shares measuring activities to use with students.
