Hi guys!
I came from an electronics background ( mainly on the software side with a fair amount of experience with setting up computer networks ) and have just recently started with a company as a field service tech. I feel pretty comfortable in most aspects of service work and love to troubleshoot. What I would really like some advice in is the use of a multimeter. Don't get me wrong, I can use one and follow instructions but I would love to have any input on getting proficient in using one for troubleshooting. For instance detecting ground faults, tracing wires based upon readings, etc. I kinda get overwhelmed on the setups that are high rise with lots of T-taps. GF's are the biggest pain for me and I work through them but I feel like I could be a lot better. I know time will will help along with OJT but I figured someone out there might be able to say "this is what I did to practice and become efficient ". Thanks in advance!!
