I'm assuming my multitester you mean multimeter. If that's true, then you've answered your own question. If you set the multimeter to a scale of 150 volts and you measure 82 volts, then the answer is 82 volts. The switch positions (15V, 150V) are there to help you measure voltage more accurately. They change the scale of the meter. For instance, if your meter has a gauge with 15 divisions on it (by gauge I mean the part where the needle moves) and you set the dial to 15 volts, then you now have 1 volt per division. In the same respect if you set it to 150 volts you now have 10 volts per division. So if it's set to 15 volts and you put 82 volts across it, the needle will sit all the way at the top. This just indicates that you've put too much voltage across it. Just keep changing the scale until you get to a point where the needle isn't all the way at the end of the scale. Then read how many volts per division you have, and read the voltage normally.

What is the cause if a multitester is in the ohms position but the meter pointer cannot be set to zero when the test leads are shorted and the ohms adjust control is turned?
check the batteries
Which function is used to determine the position of the put pointer in a file in c plus plus?
The function ftell returns the position of the file pointer for a file.
What is it called when you position your mouse pointer over the name of the item?
When you position your mouse pointer over the name of the item, it is called "hovering" over the name.

What is a cusor?
A cursor is a moving space, line, arrow, or hand that indicates the position of a text point or GUI location on a computer monitor. Actions taken with the mouse or keyboard will be implemented at the current cursor location.
What is an analog multitester?
And analog multi-tester will have a meter, battery, and switch. The meter is the part that can show the conversion of analog to digital or simply act as an analog display. The battery is the power source and the switch is the part that allows you to select the specific function of the multi-tester.
What are the Name of mouse pointer shape and functions?
The upper-left pointing arrow pointer is a general-purpose pointer. It is used in most window areas for single-object selection and activation. The hotspot for the arrow pointer should be in the point of the arrow.You can optionally use an I-beam pointer in any Text component. It is used to change the location of the text insertion cursor and to perform actions on text. If the I-beam is used, it can be hidden during the time between any keyboard action and a mouse movement. This helps the user distinguish the I-beam pointer from the text insertion cursor, which can also be an I-beam. The hotspot for the I-beam pointer should be on the vertical bar of the I-beam about one-third up from the bottom.The X pointer can indicate when the pointer is outside of any application area. The hotspot for the X pointer should be where the lines intersect.The resize pointers indicate positions for area resize, and they remain during a resize operation. The direction of the arrow in the pointer indicates the direction of increasing size. The horizontal and vertical pointers indicate resize in either the horizontal or vertical direction. The diagonal pointers indicate resize in both the horizontal and vertical directions simultaneously. The hotspot for the resizing pointers should be on the elbow or the line at the position pointed to by the arrow.The hourglass pointer, a working pointer, indicates that an action is in progress in the area, and that the pointer has no effect in the area. While the hourglass pointer is active, all mouse button and keyboard events are ignored in the area. The hotspot for the hourglass pointer should be located at the center of the hourglass, although it should not be used for activation. The hourglass pointer can be used interchangeably with the watch pointer.The watch pointer, a working pointer, indicates that an action is in progress in the area, and that the pointer has no effect in the area. While the watch pointer is active, all mouse button and keyboard events are ignored in the area. The hotspot for the watch pointer should be located at the top of the watch, although it should not be used for activation. The watch pointer can be used interchangeably with the hourglass pointer.The 4-directional arrow pointer indicates a move operation is in progress, or a resize operation before the resize direction has been determined. During a move operation, the object, or an outline of the object should move to track the location of the pointer. During a resize operation, the pointer is used to indicate a direction for resizing. The 4-directional arrow pointer should change to the appropriate resize arrow when the resize direction is determined, either by crossing an object boundary with the pointer or by pressing a keyboard direction key. The hotspot for the 4-directional arrow pointer should be at the spot where the arrows intersect.The sighting pointer is used to make fine position selections. For example, in a drawing program it can be used to indicate a pixel to fill or the connecting points of lines. The hotspot for the sighting pointer should be at the spot where the lines intersect.The caution pointer is used to indicate that action is expected in another area before input can be given to the current area, and that the pointer has no effect in the area. While the caution pointer is active, all mouse button and keyboard events are ignored in the area. The hotspot for the caution pointer should be located at the center of the caution symbol, although it should not be used for activation.The question pointer is used to request an input position or component from the user. This is often used to input an object for interactive help. The user requests interactive help, then the question pointer is displayed to allow the user to indicate what position or component help is requested for. The hotspot for the question pointer should be at the bottom of the question mark.You can optionally use an arrow pointing to the upper-right corner to indicate a pending Menu action. This shape indicates that a Menu is popped up or pulled down and waiting for a Menu item to be activated or the Menu to be removed. The hotspot for this arrow pointer should be in the point of the arrow.
Which function is used to determine the position of the put pointer into the file?
tellp()
What do you mean by torque weight ratio of an indicating instrument?
torque/weight ratio of an instrument indicates sensitivity.if a pointer is having less weight, it will be having high torque/weight ratio so that even for a very small deflection pointer starts moving and indicates measured value.
The arrow I-beam or other symbol that moves when you move the mouse or other pointing divice and that indicades a location or position on your screen?
mouse pointer
