Re: how to make a DVA adapter for multimeter
Oh yeh?
Thats all very easy for you to say.
A DC volt meter reads the continuous DC voltage ... thats simple.
An AC voltmeter reads what is known as the rms ( root mean square) value. For a sinusoidal wave form that is 0.7 x voltage of the peaks of the wave ( 1/√2 x, to be more precise)
For wave forms that are not sinusoidal it is often relevant to measure the peak voltage directly. Such a time is measuring the peak voltage of the pulses from a CDI power pack going to the HT coils.
For this purpose a peak reading voltmeter is required.
A DVA ( Direct voltage adapter ) can be used to enable a standard multimeter to be used.
