RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT
Figure 7-7 shows a simplified diagram of the resistance measurement
function. A simple series circuit is formed by the voltage source, a
reference resistor from the voltage divider (selected by the selector
switches), and the test (unknown) resistor. The ratio of the two resistors
is equal to the ratio of their respective voltage drops. Therefore, since
the value of one resistor is known, the value of the second can be
determined by using the voltage drop across the known resistor as a
reference. This determination is made directly by the A/D converter.
Overall operation of the A/D converter during a resistance
measurement is basically as described earlier with one exception. The
reference voltage present during a voltage measurement is replaced by
the voltage drop across the reference resistor. This allows the voltage
across the unknown resistor to be read during the read period.
h
FE
MEASUREMENT
Figure 7-8 shows a simplified diagram of the h
FE
measurement function.
Internal circuits in the 7106 IC maintain the COMMON line at 2.8 volts
below V+. When a PNP transistor is plugged into the transistor socket,
base to emitter current flows through resistor R21. The voltage drop in
resistor R10 due to the collector current is fed to the 7106 and indicates
the h
FE
of the transistor. For an NPN transistor, the emitter current
through R10 indicates the h
FE
of the transistor.
