Types of Multimeter

There are two types namely analogue and digital multimeter.

Multimeter types

Analogue Meter

Digital Multimeter

Functions of multimeter

A standard model DMM

Depending on the multimeters build and model, it may have function as followed

• Voltage Measurements (Denotes by V)- Measures voltage
• Current Measurements (Denotes by A)- Measures current
• Frequency Measurements (Denotes by Hz) - Measures frequency
• Resistance Measurements (Denotes by Ω)- Measures resistance
• Capacitance Measurements (Denotes by F)- Measures capacitance
• Inductance Measurements (Denotes by L) - Measures inductance
• Continuity Testing - Evaluating if the circuits is connected/closed
