Hi all,
I've recently been thinking of switching careers and getting back into electronics. I've been out of if for a while and was wondering what a DYM is? I've seen this a couple of times in want-ads, along with the requisite DMM's and VOM's that most techs use. I don't remember ever coming across a DYM before. I've tried Googling it, but no luck. Any help?
Sincerely,
Scott
I suspect the problem lies in your reading "V" ("Letter Vee") as "Y" ("Letter Why") - Very similar looking (WAY too similar in some) in several fonts, and only a couple letters apart alphabetically, but definitely NOT the same animal! :)
I've never heard of a "Dee Why Em" either, but I've encountered *LOTS* of "Dee Vee Em"s. And all of them were "Digitial Volt Meters" - A subset of "Dee Em Em"s - "Digital Multi-Meters".
A typo?
Yup, I'd think it's a typo, too. They probably meant Digital Volt Meter (DVM).
Cheers Chris
I thought about that but was wondering why they (the head-hunters) would put DVM right next to DMM. Anyway, thanks, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something...or, loosing my mind!
P.S. I'm pretty new to the group and have been enjoying it a lot. There seem to be several of you who contribute significantly. I look forward to participating!

It's a Digital Yak Meter, invented by Bob Pease on one of his trips to Tibet.
But you know I'm kidding because he would never make a digital meter.
Not to mention that there are no "Digital Yaks". ;-)
Headhunters aren't always smart.
Beena while since you've been to Tibet, eh? Rumor has it that *ALL* the "cool" yaks are wired these days, even if it's only with an iPod.
head hunters know everything about hunting heads and very little about anything else.
