Pin Configuration

  • MetroQ MTQ-111 Digital Multimeter With Probes
  • Pinout Explanation
  • The MetroQ MTQ-111 Digital Multimeter With Probes has a total of 4 pins, which are used to connect the multimeter to a circuit or device for measurement. Here's a detailed explanation of each pin:
  • Pin 1: COM (Common)
  • Function: Common ground pin, shared by all measurement functions (Voltage, Current, Resistance, etc.)
  • Color: Black
  • Description: This pin is the common ground reference point for the multimeter. It's used as a reference point for all measurements and should be connected to the negative terminal of a battery or the ground of a circuit.
  • Pin 2: VmA (Voltage/Ohm/mA)
  • Function: Voltage, Resistance, and milli-Ampere measurement pin
  • Color: Red
  • Description: This pin is used for measurement of voltage, resistance, and milli-amperes. It's connected to the positive terminal of a battery or the signal line of a circuit.
  • Pin 3: A (Ampere)
  • Function: High-current measurement pin (up to 10A)
  • Color: Red
  • Description: This pin is used for measurement of high currents (up to 10A). It's connected to the positive terminal of a battery or the signal line of a circuit, but only when measuring high currents.
  • Pin 4: None (Not Used)
  • Function: Not used
  • Color: Not applicable
  • Description: This pin is not used and should be left unconnected.
  • Connecting the Pins
  • Here's a step-by-step guide to connecting the pins:
  • For Voltage, Resistance, and milli-Ampere measurements:
  • 1. Connect the COM (Pin 1) to the negative terminal of a battery or the ground of a circuit.
  • 2. Connect the VmA (Pin 2) to the positive terminal of a battery or the signal line of a circuit.
  • For High-Current measurements (up to 10A):
  • 1. Connect the COM (Pin 1) to the negative terminal of a battery or the ground of a circuit.
  • 2. Connect the A (Pin 3) to the positive terminal of a battery or the signal line of a circuit.
  • Important Safety Notes:
  • Always ensure the multimeter is set to the correct function and range before taking a measurement.
  • Never connect the multimeter to a circuit with voltage higher than the maximum rated voltage (e.g., 1000V for MTQ-111).
  • Always use the correct probe leads and ensure they are securely connected to the multimeter and the circuit under test.
  • Follow proper safety practices when working with electrical circuits and devices.

Interfacing and Programming
The MetroQ MTQ-111 can be interfaced with microcontrollers and computers using various communication protocols. Here, we will demonstrate how to use the multimeter with an Arduino Uno board and a Python script.
Example 1: Basic Voltage Measurement with Arduino
Connect the multimeter's voltage probe to the Arduino Uno's analog input pin (A0) and the multimeter's COM pin to the Arduino's ground pin.
```c++
const int voltagePin = A0;  // Voltage probe connected to A0
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
  int voltageReading = analogRead(voltagePin);
  float voltage = (voltageReading  5.0) / 1023.0;  // Convert ADC value to voltage
  Serial.print("Voltage: ");
  Serial.print(voltage);
  Serial.println(" V");
  delay(1000);
}
```
Example 2: Resistance Measurement with Python
Connect the multimeter's resistance probe to the computer's USB port using a USB-TTL serial adapter. Install the `pyserial` library and use the following Python script to read resistance measurements.
```python
import serial
import time
# Open the serial port
ser = serial.Serial('COM3', 9600, timeout=1)  # Replace COM3 with your serial port
while True:
    # Send command to multimeter to take a resistance measurement
    ser.write(b'MEAS:RES
')
    time.sleep(0.5)
# Read measurement response
    response = ser.readline().decode('utf-8')
    resistance = float(response.split(':')[1].strip())
    print(f"Resistance: {resistance:.2f} k")
# Wait 1 second before taking the next measurement
    time.sleep(1)
```
Example 3: Continuity Testing with MicroPython (ESP32/ESP8266)
Connect the multimeter's continuity probe to the ESP32/ESP8266 board's digital pin (D0). Use the following MicroPython script to detect continuity.
```python
import machine
# Initialize digital pin as input
 continuum_probe = machine.Pin(0, machine.Pin.IN)
while True:
    if continuum_probe.value() == 0:
        print("Continuity detected!")
    else:
        print("No continuity detected.")
    time.sleep(0.5)
```
Notes and Precautions
Always follow proper safety procedures when working with electrical circuits and measurements.
 Ensure the multimeter is set to the correct measurement range and function before taking readings.
 Use the provided probes and leads to avoid damaging the multimeter or the device under test.
By following these examples and guidelines, you can effectively utilize the MetroQ MTQ-111 digital multimeter with probes in your IoT projects and development.
