I'm going to be builidng a dynalo soon, and I'm trying to find the best way to measure hFE for transistor matching.
I'm also going to be buying a multimeter soon, and I see many have the ability to measure hFE. Is this an accurate method?
My other method revolves around what hFE actually is. For lack of thinking what else it could be, is the following true? Forward Current Gain = hFE = Beta? If so, I can just set up a circuit to measure current gain (although the multimeter method is easier).
Thanks,
Ryan
