English term

ohm (as a verb)

English to French Other Mechanics / Mech Engineering
An issue is suspected on the Ethernet 1 circuit preventing the GX55 from communicating with the MCX1 controller and therefore causing 3DMC to boot up into simulation mode.

Using a multimeter, ohm the 4 wires for Ethernet 1 between the GX55 connector and the MCX1 controller.


Je n'ai jamais entendu parler de "ohmer".................. ?


Merci d'avance

@ Andrew Paul Nothing missing in this source text — just typical engineer-speak.Lietarlly, I suspect, it doesn't anyway mean m"easure the resistance" — a rather pointless exercise! Rather, it will surely mean 'perform a continuity check', as you suggest. Anything deviating significantly from 0 or ∞ would be seriously worrying!
Andrew Paul Kennett Jan 18, 2023:
ohmer? Je dirais qu'il manque des mots dans le texte d'origine. On mesure en OHM's avec un multimètre la résistivité d'un composant. Donc la phrase "Using a multimeter, ohm the 4 wires for..." devrait lire: "Utilisant un multimètre, mesurer en OHM les quatre fils..." Dans ce cas pour verifier qu'un des câbles n'est pas coupé. Dans quel cas le multimètre donnerait une réponse de l'infini.
Juste une suggestion.

English term (edited): using a multimeter, ohm

mesurer la résistance avec un ohmmètre

It must be about using a multimeter (which usually includes an ohmmeter function) to measure the electrical resistance to find out if there is a fault on the wire.

Thanks

Thanks.
agree Tony M : Yes, of course! Though I suspect here it really means simply a continuity check...

Thanks. Yes, check there is an unhindered connection, so if the resistance is not close to 0, there is a problem.

English term (edited): ohm

vérifier la continuité

Almost certainly what it is intended to mean here: achieved, of course, using an ohm-meter
