Voltage. Direct current and alternating current voltages are measured and shown by AC and DC voltmeters. Where information is required only periodically from a number of points it is usual to have only one voltmeter with a device for selecting each point of measurement as required.
Current. The instrument that measures an electric current in amperes is called an ammeter.
We may summarize the nature of information presented by aicraft instruments as
follows:
(a) it may be continuous presentation, as in the case of a gyrohorizon.
(b) it may be on-tap presentation, as in the case of moving a switch for a
particular reading on a voltmeter.
(c) it is always concerned with situations that are expected to change within
certain limits, for example temperature.
(d) most is presented visually.
