  • Question
  • There appears to be a problem with a 7-segment display on a DMM sometimes skipping certain numbers. How would you test the display?


  • Options
  • A. Remove the display unit and check each segment diode with an ohmmeter. Replace the defective segments.
  • B. Apply 5 V directly to each segment of the display and check for individual segment operation. Replace any segment that has voltage applied but is not lit.
  • C. Tie all of the segments together and connect to Vcc; the number 8 should appear on the display. Now check the display supply voltage to determine if the display is receiving the correct voltage.
  • D. Connect the DMM to a variable supply and very slowly increase the voltage, while observing for missing digits. Then check the segment voltage to determine whether the display or the display driver is bad.

  • Correct Answer
  • Connect the DMM to a variable supply and very slowly increase the voltage, while observing for missing digits. Then check the segment voltage to determine whether the display or the display driver is bad.
