A multimeter is a device which can be used to measure multiple properties of an electrical setup such as voltage, resistance and current. It serves as a single device which can be used as a voltmeter, ammeter and ohmmeter, which is why it is also referred to as volt-ohm-milliammeter (VOM). There are few multimeters that are even more advanced and can measure more properties such as temperature and inductance.
How to use
First of all, put one probe into the jack named COM. After that, you need to point the dial on the property that you are measuring. If you are measuring direct current for example, point the dial towards the A label. After that, put another probe into the jack with label A. The other ends of the probes should be connected to the wire. If all the setup is correct, you should see the readings on the LCD display.
Common applications
1. to measure the electrical properties of appliances.
Safety Measures to follow
1. Put the probes correctly in the multimeter input jacks.
2. Don’t touch any open ends while measuring values..
