0.6V

17
Q

Technician A states that the accuracy of an analog meter is usually no better than 3 percent. Technician B states that most DMMs have an accuracy factor that is within 0.1 percent of the reading. Who is correct?
a. neither A nor B b. both A and B c. Technician A only Technician B only

A

Both A and B

18
Q

What is the component called that can be safely inserted into electronic circuits so that they can be tested without interrupting them?

A

breakout box

19
Q

Technician A states that using the snapshot test mode when using a handheld reader/programmer to troubleshoot an intermittently occurring fault code will help identify the conditions that produced the code. Technician B states that snapshot test mode can only analyze a historic code. Who is correct?
a. neither A nor B b. Both A and B c. Technician B only d. Technician A only

A

Technician A only

20
Q

When verifying the signal produced by a potentiometer-type TPS, the DMM test mode selected should be, what?

A

V-AC

21
Q

Describe the difference between an active code and a historic code

A

An ACTIVE code exists at the time of viewing: A HISTORIC code is INACTIVE at the time of viewing and is logged in memory

22
Q

What is meant by the term GUI? Give some examples.

A

A GUI is a graphical user interface: its best example is in the pictorial ICONs used in Widows, and Mac software.

23
Q

What is meant by the term networking?

A

The term NETWORKING is used generally to refer to two or more computer systems that can communicate with each other. On a truck, the data bus or backbone is the networking medium. The Internet is one means that enable PCs to network.
