What do u mean by ring out

The term “ring out” goes back to when some simple continuity testers used a light bulb or buzzer (sonolert) that would make a noise if the circuit was not broken. No sound or light meant it was an open circuit. Your modern multimeter may have a position that will do the same thing. It allows you test without having to constantly look back at the meter.

When you see the term used you know the writer is older than dirt. Applies to those as well who know what it means.
