Multimeter and Tesseract

Can I use a mulitmeter to measure Tesseract energy output?

 

The turbine is on, and is making RF. The Tesseract is attached to a power tap. It is on channel one, the redstone signal option is disabled. It is set to "send energy only"

 

It reads zero, not sure if my teseract is not sending, or if I am using the wrong tool to measure, or if I am measuring at the wrong place.

 

I am playing the most recent version of Tekkit (not lite or classic)

Unfortunately you can't. The multimeter will only read conduits and ducts I believe.

You could still run a Conduit from the output Tesseract and measure that one. You do have an output Tesseract, right? You can set one Tesseract to send, but it won't send until another one joins that very frequency in receive mode, and has some machine, duct or power storage attached that will actually take RF.

 

I dimly recall something about Multimeters not being too accurate. You should probably not rely on the results too much.

Thanks, I'll try that.

And if you use a multimeter on a conduit that is supplied with power, but nothing using power through that section, it will just say something like "Network saturated".

By the way, all Thermal Expansion machines that use power have a power tab where you can monitor what they require, and what they are getting. It is the topmost icon in the interface. Of course, machines that run on Servos don't have it.
