| Reading the schedule: know what you measure!
By Marco van Wijk (StichtingCOM) Most of the time an error code gives you a direction to the cause of the problem. Good for a quick diagnose, but not always enough. It is often necessary to measure on plugs. Is the nutrition available? Is there transition resistance? Do you immediately use the multimeter, scope or another tool? Or do you consult documentation first? Marco van Wijk will tell you why the latter is the best choice in the knowledge session ‘Know what you measure!’.
