Testing bigger coil or inductor such as the computer monitor B+
coil, you need an inductance meter to find out the exact inductance
value which is in the unit of Henry (h). From experienced using an
inductance meter to check coils to see if it good or bad is not
recommended because a shorted coil (shorted between winding)
could have a good inductance value and you would miss out
checking a bad coil.
Unless you want to use the inductance meter to calculate the
reading and do rewinding, looping and etc on that coil. I would
only test a big coil with dick smith flyback meter. Any shorted
winding in it could be easily detected by this meter.
