In modem measuring technology, the digital voltmeter is often used in site measuring. The control system of digital voltmeter that described in this paper uses AT89c51, and A/D converter uses ADC0809 to perform the design of the digital voltmeter. The voltmeter has simple electrical circuit,few elements and low cost .The meter has the capability of measuring 8 voltage inputs from 0 to 5 volt at one time, and displays the measurements in turn or only displays one route that selected.
