What’s New

On the previous module, you have defined and identified the different
storage device.

Can you remember those components?

Do you still remember their definitions?

What is It

In this modules learning learn to identify the different measuring

instrument and its function in Computer System Servicing.

1. Do you have any idea what are those measuring instrument?

Measuring Instruments:

1. Multimeter (VOM) - A multimeter or a multitester, also known as a VOM,

is an electronic measuring instrument that combines several
measurement functions in one unit. A typical multimeter can measure
voltage (Volt), current (Ampere), and resistance (Ohm). Analog

5
 multimeter use a micro ammeter with a moving pointer to display
readings.

Voltmeter - an instrument for measuring electric potential in volts.

Ex. 220 volts

Ohmmeter - an instrument for measuring electrical resistance.

Ex.20 Ohms

Milliameter - an instrument for measuring electric current in amperes.

Ex. 15 amperes

Types of Multi-meter or Multi-tester:

1. Analog Multi-meter or multi-tester (VOM) - use a microammeter with

a moving pointer to display readings

www.google.com.wikipedia.org

6
Digital multimeters (DMM, DVOM) - have a numeric display, and may also show a
graphical bar representing the measured value.

www.google.com.wikipedia.org

2. Cable Tester - is an electronic device used to verify the electrical

connections in a signal cable or other wired assembly. Basic cable
testers are continuity testers that verify the existence of a conductive
path between ends of the cable, and verify the correct wiring of
connectors on the cable.

www.google.com.wikipedia.org

7
3. Loopback, or loop-back adapter - refers to the routing of electronic
signals, digital data streams, or flows of items back to their source
without intentional processing or modification. This is primarily a means
of testing / measuring the communications infrastructure.

www.google.com.wikipedia.org

4. Logic Probe - is a hand-held test probe used for analyzing and

troubleshooting the logical states (boolean 0 or 1) of a digital circuit.

Logic probe / Digital logic tester is able to detect lines that are at the
digital or logic high state. The logic probe will indicate this typically with
an LED which is often coloured red. Logic low: The logic probe also is
able to indicate a logic or digital low often coloured green.

What is It

Definition of Terms

Binary – the primary language for computers that is made up of only two
numbers: 0 and 1 (Computer Hope, 2019).

Binary Prefix – used to represent the quantity in terms of byte or bit in

computing (SearchStorage, n.d.)

Decimal – a base 10 number system (Yadav, 2018)

Bit (b) – short for binary digit (Computer Hope, 2020), either 0 or 1.

Byte (B) – a unit of computer information consisting of eight (8) bits (Merriam-
Webster, n.d.)

Giga Hertz (GHz) – also known as clock rate or clock speed of the processor
(Computer Hope, 2018).

10
How to Read Binary
Binary is a base-2 number system, where the number two (2) is raised by an
exponent (n-1). The exponent is denoted by the digits’ place (n) and subtracted
by 1, wherein it increases as you move through each position starting from the
right going to the left.
For example, number 2 on the first position, so that is 2 raised by n-1, wherein
n=1.
2(n-1) = 2(1-1) = 20

Considering the given table below, the first position is the rightmost cell and the
leftmost position is the last cell.

Position
7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
(n-1)
Exponent
27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20
2(Position)
Value 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1

Note: The first place should be 1 but since it is (n-1) subtracted by 1, it becomes
0.

The first value is equivalent to 1 because 20 is equal to 1.

Note: Any value with an exponent of 0 is always equal to 1.

The second value is 21 is 2 because it is just 2 itself multiplied by 1.

The third value is 4 because 22 = 2 x 2 = 4, 23 = 8 because 23 = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8,
and so on and so forth.

In binary system, 1 is equal to ON/TRUE and 0 is OFF/FALSE.

To read a binary number, get the turn - ON value/s only and sum it up, no need
to include the turned-OFF value/s. For example:

11
 Value 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
ON/OFF 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1

0000 0001 = 1

Get the sum: 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 1 = 1

Or simply get the turn - ON value which is 1.

Multiple values example:

Value 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
ON/OFF 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1

0000 0101 = 5

The binary number 0000 0101 is equivalent to 5 because the turned-ON values
are: (ALWAYS START FROM THE RIGHT)

1 and 4

Then get the sum: 1 + 4 = 5

Number 5 and the “Value” in the tables are examples of decimal numbers, the
number system that we have known since we learned how to count numbers.

For us humans, but for computers,

1 0000 0001
+ 2 + 0000 0010
---------------------------- ------------------------------------------------

3 0000 0011

Note: Each group of eight bits is known as a byte.

12
 8 bits = 1 byte
That is how the computer represented the letters and numbers, and all
the data that you can see in the computer like images and videos.
Decimal to Binary Conversion
Rule: If the fraction is = ½ or .5, it is equivalent to 1.
In converting a decimal number to binary, all you have to do is:
1. Divide the number by 2.
2. Write the quotient and multiply the remainder by 2.
3. Divide the remainder by 2.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you get a quotient of 0.
5. Read the values of the remainder from the bottom to top. Write the
values to get the binary value of the decimal number.

Example:

Convert 19 to binary

Decimal number / 2 Quotient Remainder

19 / 2 9 1
9/2 4 1
4/2 2 0
2/2 1 0
1/2 0 1
19 = 10011
Note: A byte has 8 binary digits. Add 0s from the left to complete the 8
digits. The final answer is 19 = 00010011.

For a more detailed discussion, watch this video through this link: ________

13
Checking:
There are two ways to check if the conversion is accurate.

Method 1: Binary Table

1. Create a binary table.

2. Input the binary value into the table properly. Each digit should be
entered on the correct column starting from right to the left.

Decimal 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
Binary
0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1
State

3. Then add the decimal values with 1.

16 + 2 + 1 = 19

Method 2: Binary to Decimal Conversion

1. Multiply the bits with its corresponding value.

Note: Always start from the right.
2. Get the sum.

(1 x 1) + (1 x 2) + (0 x 4) + (0 x 8) + (1 x 16) + (0 x 32) + (0 x 64) + (0 x 128)

1 + 2 + 0 + 0 + 16 + 0 + 0 + 0

= 19

Therefore: 19 = 0001 0011

Binary Prefixes
Also called as prefix multipliers consisting of a one-letter abbreviation and the
prefix it stands for.
Unit Symbol Power of 2 (bytes) VALUE in Bytes
Kilobyte KB 210 1,204
Megabyte MB 220 1,048,576
Gigabyte GB 230 1,073,741,824
Terabyte TB 240 1,009,511,627,776

14
For example:

1 kilobyte = 210 bytes

210 bytes = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 bytes
210 bytes = 1,024 bytes

Therefore: 1 KB = 1,024 bytes

If you have noticed, a 1 KB is not an exact 1,000 bytes but actually its 1,024
bytes because the computer uses binary code in translating capacity and
speed. So, if you have a hard disk with a capacity of 500 GB, its actual size is
536,870,912,000 bytes, and not 500,000,000,000 bytes.

On the contrary, you cannot view a 1 KB file as an actual 1,024 bytes in your
computer because it’s just how Windows represented it. There are a lot of
factors involved in it and it will not be tackled in this lesson.

The presented capacity of a file or component when viewing in your computer

is dependent on the OS and the manufacturer. What you have learned here is
the actual values in computing and is how computers are being engineered in
terms of capacity and speed.

Data Storage Capacity Calculation

In a storage device, you need to know its capacity as well as how much space
is used and free.
For example, you have an 8 GB flash drive. You want to copy a file with a size
of 1 GB and your flash drive’s free space is 2 GB. How much free space will be
left after you copied that file to your flash drive?

15
Computation:
Let FSAC = free space of flash drive after copying
FS = 1 GB (size of the file you want to copy)
FSBC = 2 GB (free space of flash drive before copying)
FSAC = FS – FSBC
FSAC = 2 GB – 1 GB
FSAC = 1 GB
Therefore, there will be only 1 GB of free space in your flash drive after copying
the file.
Checking:
Use the equation FSAC = FS – FSBC:
FSAC = FS – FSBC
1 GB = 2 GB – 1 GB
1 GB = 1 GB
Therefore, your computation is correct!

What’s In

Before we proceed to our lesson, let us have a review of the previous.

Can you identify at least one component to be measured? Do you know what
is RAM? Can you draw it in your CSS activity notebook? If you can, how did
you familiarize yourself with the component? Do you know that in this lesson
you will be able to familiarize and identify the different symbols used by
computers? All you need to do is to follow the symbols used in technical
activities involve in Computer Systems Servicing.

What’s New

What can you say about the sign in the picture below? Do you still want
to touch on that thing? How about if there was no sign appeared on and
accidentally you hold on it? What should you do? Now let us know how
important the symbol in dealing with the danger is. Just like using the computer,
you need to know some symbols to be aware of what was it means.

 What is It

Computer Symbols

There are thousands of symbols used by computers today to represent

a function, specification, certification, company, or warning. For example, one
of the most recognizable symbols is an almost full circle with a vertical line at
the top that indicates power. Let us identify the most commonly displayed
symbols used with computers and electronics, with a brief description of what
each symbol means.
Note that most symbols are not standardized, which means the symbols
shown below may not match your software program or hardware device.
However, these symbols should be close enough to what you are looking for
that you can identify the meaning of each symbol.

General Symbols

1. A question mark symbol represents a question and allows you

to access help or online documentation.

2. A light bulb icon symbol represents a tip or an idea. For

example, on this page, we have several tips that can be quickly
identified with the light bulb next to the word "Tip."

3. The gear symbol indicates a configuration or settings option. For

example, many programs use a gear icon for buttons that allow
you to adjust a program's settings. Online services may use a
gear icon for the area that lets you change your account settings.

4. A symbol with a wrench or a wrench and screwdriver is

another symbol that can be used in place of the gear to indicate
an area to adjust the settings or other options.

4
5. A speech bubble symbol is used in communications to indicate
there is a message that needs to be read or that someone is
typing a message. For example, on an iPhone,
the Messages icon and each of its messages uses the speech bubble
symbol and when someone is typing a speech bubble with three periods is
shown.

6. The check mark symbol indicates completion or that something

is ok. For example, a download dialog box may show a green
check mark when the download is complete.

7. A plus symbol or a horizontal line crossing a vertical line is also

a symbol used as an indication to increase, add, move down,
or zoom in on software programs and hardware devices.

8. A minus symbol or a horizontal line is a symbol used as an

indication for decreasing, removing, moving up, or zooming out
on software programs and hardware devices. On a Microsoft
Windows keyboard, the minus or underscore is also shown on
the top-right side of a window to represent the minimize feature.

9. A circle with a line through it is a symbol that represents cancel

or stop and may be over the top of another symbol. For
example, a speaker symbol with this over it indicates mute. Tip:
this symbol may also be represented by an X.

10. Three arrows going around a triangle is a symbol that

represents recycle or recycling. Anything with this symbol that
is not crossed out should be recycled.

11. A symbol with a series of boxes and jagged lines with boxes in
the corners like that shown here is a QR Code and used to
store information for scanning. For example, you could scan the

5
 QR code shown here to open the Computer Hope web page. Similar
markings could also be a matrix code or a barcode.

12. A padlock symbol is used to represent when anything is locked

or secure. For example, a keyboard key with a lock can give
you the option to lock the computer.

13. A calendar icon is used to represent an option that allows the

user to view a calendar, view date related information, or
schedule an event.

14. The thumbtack symbol is used to represent the ability to pin an

object to the screen. For example, with web applications and
some web pages, you may be able to pin individual elements
you enjoy viewing to the top of a page for quick viewing.

15. A symbol of a folder represents an area capable of storing

other files and folders on a computer.

16. A symbol of a trash can or a recycle bin is a symbol used to

represent deleting a file or another object on the computer and
may be a container for any deleted items.

17. The fire symbol can have many different meanings when
used on a computer, software program, or an Internet web
page. The first meaning is that the item is hot and could mean
that it is critical, important, or popular and should be looked at
first. In some e-mail programs and services, the fire symbol represents junk,
and is a location where all spam and other junk e-mails are stored.

18. A C with a circle surrounding it is used to represent

a Copyright. For example, at the bottom of many web pages
(including this page) the Copyright symbol or (c) may be shown
to indicate the content on the page is Copyrighted.

6
19. An R with a circle surrounding it is used to represent a
registered mark. For example, this mark may be seen by a
company logo or brand name that is a registered mark.

20. A TM with a circle surrounding it or TM by itself is used to

represent a trademark.

 Lesson
Electrical/Electronic Schematic

What is It
Schematic Diagram

Circuit or schematic diagrams consist of symbols representing physical

components and lines representing wires or electrical conductors. To learn how
to read a circuit diagram, it is necessary to learn what the schematic symbol of
a component looks like. It is also necessary to understand how the components
are connected in the circuit.

https://www.startingelectronics.org

Circuit Symbols and Physical Components

Each electronic or electrical component is represented by a symbol as

can be seen in this simple circuit diagram. Lines used to connect the symbols
represent conductors or wires. Each symbol represents a physical component
that may look as follows.

9
 https://www.startingelectronics.org

Component References
Components in a circuit should always have references, also
called reference designators, used to identify the components in the circuit. This
allows the components to easily be referenced in text or a component list. A
battery may have the reference designator "BAT" and a light bulb may have a
reference "L".
Because there could be more than one battery or light bulb in a circuit,
reference designators will usually always end with a number, e.g. BAT1 and L1
as shown in the circuit below. A second light bulb in the circuit would then have
the reference designator L2.

https://www.startingelectronics.org

10
 Parallel Circuit Example
In the circuit below, two light bulbs are connected in parallel to a battery
power source. It can be seen that the top terminals of the two light bulbs are
connected and to the positive terminal of the battery. We know this because the
three terminals or connection points have a node where they intersect.

The bottom terminals of the bulbs are connected and the negative
terminal of the battery because the second node shows these connections.

https://www.startingelectronics.org

Series Circuit Example

In the series circuit below, two light bulbs are connected in series. No
nodes are necessary in this circuit to show the bulbs connecting and the battery
because single wires are connecting straight to each other. Nodes are only
placed if three or more wires are connected.
