I want to check the DVD, Peak Voltage output on my 130 Johnson for the first time. It calls for a ½ volt reading. What DVD meter displays a ½ volt reliably and at a minimum cost?

Thank you.

If you already have a digital voltmeter it is simple and inexpensive to make a DVA / peak voltage adapter from the circuit which has been published on these forums or can be found out on the net.

The lowest rang on my digital meter is 20 volts. Will read to .5 volts?

In theory, the 20V range will display anything between 0 and 20V. But as already said, it depends on the quality and accuracy of the meter.

It depends on how many a decimal places it reads to and its accuracy . The instruction manual should tell you the accuracy.

Mine reads to 2 decimal places on the 20 volt range so measures to a precision of 0.01 volts but the accuracy is only +/- 0.02 volts

I used a Neon light to test if the power pack is producing power it will not indicate how much volts coming out get one that is rated +/- the volts that come out of power pack at start up i used one a few days ago rated at 110v to test an amplifier . they come in different voltage ranges from 100v to 250v the globe that has 2 wires attached to it they work on AC& DC .for 1.50 dlrs i paid for the light gave me the answer needed
