DVOM Simulations
The DVOM Simulations contain 12 simulations that consist of 24 individual problems. They give students valuable experience performing voltage, amperage, and resistance measurements with a simulated multimeter. Students can practice installing the test leads in the correct meter jacks, selecting the proper meter function, preparing the circuit, and placing the test probes in the circuit without fear of damaging the meter.
In many of the simulations, students are given the circuit diagram and asked to predict the value before performing the multimeter test. This drills the students on the application of Ohm's law to simple circuits. The simulated meter tests then allow the students to test their predictions, providing immediate feedback. In the final simulations, students are asked to apply their knowledge of Ohm's law, the simulated multimeter, and basic circuits to perform simple troubleshooting exercises.
