Does a multimeter contain an optocoupler

Home / Does a multimeter contain an optocoupler

The multimeter measures resistance or voltage changes at the optocoupler output. An optocoupler, at its core, is an electronic component that provides electrical isolation between two circuits. It achieves this by using a light signal to transmit information, eliminating the need for a direct electrical connection. In this episode #0018 of Electronic Components Testing, we reveal how to test an optocoupler (optoisolator) using a digital multimeter step by step. So, technically, as per the name, it is used as a coupler with the help of some sort of optical technology.
