what is the voltage reading using a multimeter in the multisim workbench software? is it average or peak voltage?
MATLABdude said:I believe it's RMS (just like a regular voltmeter). I also believe that you can hook up a virtual oscilloscope to confirm!
EDIT: And welcome to PhysicsForums!
To measure voltage, you will need to set your multimeter to the V (volts) setting. Make sure the red probe is plugged into the VΩmA port and the black probe is plugged into the COM port.
To take a voltage reading, first make sure your multimeter is set to the correct DC or AC voltage range. Then, place the red probe on the positive side of the circuit and the black probe on the negative side. The display will show the voltage reading.
Yes, you can measure voltage on live circuits with a multimeter. However, it is important to make sure you are using the correct setting and that you are properly insulated and following safety precautions.
The different voltage ranges on a multimeter refer to the maximum voltage the device can measure. For example, if you are measuring a voltage of 15 volts, you will need to set your multimeter to a range that can measure up to 15 volts.
If you are getting inaccurate voltage readings, first check that your multimeter is set to the correct voltage range. You can also try replacing the batteries or checking the probes for any damage. If the issue persists, it may be time to calibrate or replace your multimeter.
