  Now is time to collect a measuring equipment.

  Let start with the well known ” Multimeter “. It must be capable of measuring:  Resistance, Voltage, Current, Capacitance, etc.

  More expensive “multimeters” can measure a Duty-cycle [%1-100], Frequency, Inductance, and luminance.    

  The internet gives a million suggestions for buying the right multimeter. Not to be wasteful in time, you can see our right – ten multimeters list.
