What is the New??

There are many
measurers in electrical engineering. Multimeter is one of them. Multimeter is
on of important tools in physics because it’s commonly used by physics’
students in an electronic laboratory to measure the value of voltage, act. So, Multimeter
is a thing that cannot be separated from physics. But, have you ever heard the
new kind of Multimeter? It has other function, the new components, and new
shape.
Usually, the
function of Multimeter are, such us: for measure the value of voltage, current of electricity,
and barrier of electricity.
Cooper in
Prawiroredjo (1979:51) mentions that Multimeter is instrument of electronic
which have multifunction namely as voltmeter, ohmmeter, and ampere meter.But
there is possibility it has other function. The new function is used to measure
the value of resistor by physics because inside Multimeter has mechanic sensor.
The usage mechanic sensor is for detection. So, we don’t have to read and
memorize the value of resistor. Actually, the new generation of Multimeter possibly
has new function.
Beside the new function, the
new generation of Multimeter may have new components too. Usually the
components of Multimeters are mechanic sensor, switch, and pointer, positive
and negative terminals. Panchal
(2013: 1) mentions that function generator generating
various waveforms with standard Multimeter with PC supportability. Jones and
Foster in Prawiroredjo (1983:19) says mechanic sensor is used for voltmeter, ampere
meter, and ohmmeter because the new generation of Multimeter, there are possibility
of other functions. This possibility has new components too, such us : the
switch is changed with display screen. So, the new generation of Multimeter is
easy to be used because it has the new components.
And
other possibility is new shape of Multimeter. As we know the MultiMate is
bar-shape. Amdani (1997:89) says MultiMate is packed to be a box (bar shape)
and use an “mpk” to translate measured value. But, the shape of Multimeter can
be made with circle shape. Because it shape can the display screen and positive
negative terminals in the right side. So, all the facilitate user .The new
edition has display screen on the top, the button under users are not confused
to use it because the new shape is simpler than before.
The
conclusion this essay, I would like to classify the transformation of MultiMate.
It has the different purpose, devices, and form. The new type of Multimeter can
measure the value of resistor. It has button as replacement the switch, display
screen as replacement the pointer. It form is circle with the display screen on
the top, button under display screen, positive negative terminals in
right side. So that, I think this Multimeter is multifunction, so simple and
recommended to use.
