how to measure transistor voltage with a DMM

[mordechai]

I know this is a very basic skill, but I've never done it before.  Can someone please either walk me through the process or point me to a resource where I can see how it's done?

set the dmm on voltage scale > 9 since you are using 9v supply on your tb mk ii. my dmm is set on 20 (ie, it will measure up to 20v). black lead to ground. red lead to the point you are measuring.

some dmm's have a transistor socket....like mine...just poke em in (right way round...) set dmm  to pnp/npn...

its worth getting 1..

op was asking for voltage...not hfe...didn't want to confuse

ok...
