Electronics technicians are more likely to use the diode and capacitance tests than electricians or homeowners. But if you have a meter with these functions, it helps to know what the symbols mean.

Electronic devices use components like resistors, capacitors, transistors, diodes, & ICs. Circuit diagrams use symbols to represent these, enabling engineers worldwide to communicate & understand ...
