Hello there,
I'm not very experiencing in breaking loops for measuring currents, but for my old Bang and Olufsen I wanted to calibrate the output quiescent currents among others.
So basically the manual says that I should put the meter in series with a given resistor, which I have done. But for some reason I do never get a reading on the meter. I have uploaded a picture of the configuration here:
**broken link removed**
The multimeter is a week old, and the resistor is connected between the two white wires. I have actually even tried connecting speakers and checking where there was sound playing in both channel after my initial try, but even then I don't get a reading on the meter? The manual says that I should expect a current of approximately 25mA, so the meter is set in the mA range, and measuring DC (also indicated on the display).
Is the meter just dead, or am I doing something basically wrong?
