Abstract

This study aims to train students' initial skill in carrying out the measurements with AVO meter. When doing electrical measurements in laboratory, a student is often not aware in using it so that it may not function properly. Therefore, we made a virtual lab of Analog AVO Meter using Macro Visual Basic PowerPoint to solving the problem. First, we organized the materials of analog AVO meter, designed the display media, classified subject matter section on each powerpoint slide, and created their hyperlinks. Second, we created many buttons, such as command button, option button, combo box, and text box then we wrote a computer program on macro visual basic editor to activate the desired command. This virtual lab of AVO meter can train students' initial skill in carrying out the measurements with the meter so that the meter damage can be avoided. This virtual lab also provides skill test about the use of electrical measurement. The measured physical quantities are voltage, electric current, and resistance in series and parallel circuits.
