As shown in figure "A" of the illustrated digital multimeter screen, what would be the significance of the symbol indicated by "2" being illuminated? Illustration EL-0047
• Look closely at the icon marked "2" on the LCD and compare it with the symbols shown on the switch-position chart in box B. • Understand the difference between continuity (buzzer) testing and diode testing on a digital multimeter. • Note that some switch positions have a primary function and a secondary (push-button) function; the screen icons tell you which one is active.
• What electronic component does the symbol at "2" resemble, and how is that different from a simple speaker/buzzer symbol? • On this particular meter, when the selector is on the combined continuity/diode position, how does the meter show whether it is set for continuity versus for diode test? • Which answer choices mention the selector being in the same position as the symbol printed around the V/Ω/diode jack shown in part C of the illustration?
• Verify which icon on the LCD corresponds to continuity (usually a sound-wave or speaker symbol) and which to diode (triangle with a bar). • Confirm from section B that continuity and diode share the same switch position, but are separated by the secondary function button. • Eliminate any options that place the selector switch in the resistance (Ω) position, if the figure clearly shows the continuity/diode position instead.
