MEASUREMENT
Figure 9 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 R1. The voltage drop in
resistor R1 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 R2 indicates the h
FE
of the transistor.

CONTINUITY MEASUREMENT
Figure 8 shows a diagram of the continuity
measurement function. The circuit uses two op-
amps and a piezoelectric buzzer. When the
leads are connected across a circuit and the
resistance less than 20
Ω
the circuit oscillates
and the buzzer sounds.
