Abstract
An instrument for testing an electrical circuit includes a housing, a printed circuit board disposed within the housing, and at least one probe in electrical communication with the printed circuit board. The instrument further includes a plurality of panels disposed within the housing, wherein each one of the plurality of panels has an indicator. Each of the plurality of panels is capable of being activated into an on state in response to an electrical measurement. When at least one of the plurality of panels is activated the indicator on that panel substantially corresponds to a magnitude of the electrical measurement.
Claims18
An instrument for testing an electrical circuit, the instrument comprising:
- (a) a housing;
- (b) a printed circuit board disposed within the housing;
- (c) at least one probe in electrical communication with the printed circuit board;
- and
- (d) a plurality of panels disposed within the housing, each one of the plurality of panels having an indicator, each of the plurality of panels capable of being activated into an on state in response to an electrical measurement such that when at least one of the plurality of panels is activated the indicator on that panel substantially corresponds to a magnitude of the electrical measurement.
An instrument for testing an electrical circuit, the instrument having a housing, a printed circuit board disposed within the housing, at least one probe in electrical communication with the printed circuit board, and an indicator assembly, the indicator assembly comprising:
- (a) a plurality of panels disposed within the housing, each panel having a visible indicator;
- and
- (b) a light source disposed beneath each one of the plurality of panels, wherein the light source beneath the indicator substantially corresponding to the magnitude of an electrical measurement is illuminated when the instrument is in communication with an electrical circuit.
