A few multimeters have illuminated displays for better viewing in low light situations. You reach for your Fluke multimeter in a dark panel or dim basement, but the screen stays dark. This common frustration can stop work cold or force you to juggle a flashlight. Most Fluke multimeters lack a built-in backlight because their LCD screens use reflective technology, not the transmissive. The backlight feature on your multimeter is especially useful in low-light conditions, allowing you to read measurements without straining your eyes. The selection knob allows the user to set the multimeter to read different things such as. A digital multimeter (DMM), also known as a multitester, VOM (volt-ohm meter), or simply multimeter, is one of the most essential tools in electronics, electrical work, and industrial maintenance.

The Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) is useful for testing the integrity of fiber optic cables. It can verify splice loss, measure length and find faults. Later, comparisons can be made. VIAVI Solutions explains the basics: “An OTDR contains a laser diode as a light source, a photodiode as a detector and a precise time base. The laser emits a pulse of light at a specific wavelength that propagates through the optical fiber to be tested. All are written in the same straightforward format: what equipment do you need, what are the procedures for testing, options in implementing the test, measurement errors and documenting the results.
