Why Does My FNIRSI Multimeter Display 11.9 Vp-P for a 10 Vp-P Sine Wave?

You see your FNIRSI multimeter showing 11.9 Vp-p when you know your sine wave should be 10 Vp-p. This difference can confuse you and make you question your equipment’s accuracy. This reading is important for getting reliable measurements in your projects. Your meter likely measures peak-to-peak voltage differently than you expect. Many multimeters, including some … Read more

Why Does My FNIRSI Multimeter Only Have Coarse Timebase Adjustment?

When you notice your FNIRSI multimeter only offers coarse timebase adjustment, it can feel limiting. Why this design choice exists helps you use your meter more effectively for basic frequency measurements. Many budget-friendly multimeters, including some FNIRSI models, prioritize simplicity and cost over fine control. A coarse adjustment is often sufficient for checking if a … Read more

FNIRSI DSO-TC3 vs FNIRSI DSO152: Best Oscilloscope & Transistor Tester for DIY Electronics?

FNIRSI DSO-TC3 vs FNIRSI DSO152: Best Oscilloscope & Transistor Tester for DIY Electronics? I’ve been testing two popular FNIRSI handhelds side-by-side: the DSO-TC3, which packs an oscilloscope, signal generator, and transistor tester into one box, and the simpler DSO152, a dedicated 200kHz bandwidth pocket scope. The DSO-TC3 boasts a 500kHz bandwidth and 10MSa/s sampling rate, … Read more
