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.

Bukan kebiasaanku tuk tidur telat. Namun, kali ini bukanlah mauku. Hingga pukul 01.00 WIB aku masih terjaga, sampe mati gaya mau ngapain. Dan akhirnya aku putuskan nonton saja (itung-itung ngabisin bonusan kuota Maxstream). Setiap orang memiliki kecenderungan masing-masing, termasuk nonton film. Ada yang lihat ratingnya, genre nya, pemainnya, dll. Aku pun begitu, nonton film karena rating dan pemainnya. Namun kali ini aku tak punya banyak waktu untuk observasi suatu film yg akan ditonton, yg penting gak horor karena udah tengah malem. Jadi, nonton film based on title and cover yaitu petualangan menangkap petir. Film garapan Kuntz Agus ini bergenre drama, keluarga. Film yang menjadi jawaban atas tantangan edu parenting zaman now. Di zaman yang banyak anak antisosial. Film ini juga menyuguhkan latar yang khas era 90-an, banyak anak yang main layang-layang dan egrang di lapangan. Lokasi desa yang dipilih pun sejenak mengingatkan masa kecil yang suasananya tak jauh beda. Hal yang ...

Senyum

              Hal yang sepele yang jika tidak terjadi maka akan menimbulkan masalah. Karena senyum adalah salah satu sikap positif yang jika dilakukan setiap hari dan setiap saat maka akan berbalik pada kita sebuah senyuman pula.           Meski terkadang senyum itu sulit dikala kita lagi marah, bingung dll. Namun jika senyum itu sudah menjadi budaya dalam diri maka dalam masalah yang rumit pun kita masih bisa untuk tersenyum.            Sedikit cerita saya tentang senyum, suatu hari ketika saya bangun dari tidur, entah kenapa saya merasa jengkel dan terkesan cemberut. Dan yang terjadi, saya pun terkena kejadian buruk sepanjang hari. dari mulai berangkat ke kampus yang sepatu saya putus, hingga pulang pun sudah diguyur hujan kena semprot genangan air yang dilewati mobil.         Namun...
