| 14 | A feature of most DMMs that selects the proper range for the meter and indicates the range as a readout is called . |
|
| 15 | A circuit that converts analog voltage values to an equivalent binary form is called the converter circuit. |
|
| 16 | Looking at a(n) meter from the side results in an optical error called parallax. |
