If it is auto-ranging, there is no set-up - that's what auto-ranging means.

A multimeter set to measure current (in amperes) would be used to measure current flowing in a circuit. The multimeter needs to be connected in series with the circuit to accurately measure the current.
Current is measured in amps so the setting on a multimeter would be A Measuring current with a multimeter is only to be done by someone with training because it can be very dangerous It is much better to measure current with a clamp meter
A multimeter set to measure current (in amperes or milliamperes) would be connected in series to the resistor to measure the current flowing through it. The multimeter would be placed in series with the resistor to accurately measure the current passing through it.
To check the current consumption of a horn, you would use a multimeter set to measure current (amps). First, disconnect the horn from its power source, then connect the multimeter in series with the horn circuit. Once it's connected, restore power and activate the horn to measure the current draw. Ensure that the multimeter is rated for the expected current to avoid damage.

To measure opposition, typically referring to resistance in a circuit, you would set the digital multimeter (DMM) to the resistance (Ω) setting. Ensure the circuit is powered off before connecting the probes to the component or circuit points where you want to measure resistance. For accurate readings, select a range that encompasses the expected resistance value, or use the auto-ranging feature if available.
To measure the resistance of a component, you can use a multimeter set to the resistance (ohms) setting. Simply connect the two leads of the multimeter to the ends of the component, ensuring that there is no power running through the component. The multimeter will then display the resistance value of the component.
A multimeter is used to measure various properties of electricity. The "multi" refers to it multiple functions which can range from volt meter, current meter, resistance meter. The most common use would depend on the users preference to what is needed and measured most frequently.
To measure current, you would typically use a multimeter set to the appropriate current measurement range. First, ensure the circuit is off, then connect the multimeter in series with the part of the circuit you want to measure the current flowing through. Turn on the circuit to get a reading of the current flowing through that part of the circuit. Remember to set the multimeter to the correct range for the expected current to avoid damaging the meter.
If you're looking for precision, the Fluke 8588A 8.5-digit digital multimeter is the top choice. It features a dual A/D converter setup, including a high-precision Charge Balance ADC, allowing it to measure with an accuracy of up to parts per 10^8. When it comes to finding high-accuracy test equipment, like Fluke multimeters and calibration-grade instruments, you can trust EnrgTech’s certified inventory.
I would imagine that reversing the leads would rectify that. (No pun intended.)
