A multimeter is used to measure various parameters in an electrical circuit. It can be used to measure things like voltage, current, resistance, frequency, and more depending on the how advanced the meter is.
The digital aspect of the meter is easier to explain with respect to an analog meter. The old analog meters used built in analog circuits to detect the above parameters and display the measurement by moving a mechanical needle a certain distance based on the magnitude of the measurement. This distance could be correlated with the magnitude using formulae and a scale was printed on the face of the meter so you could tell what value the needle was pointing at.
Digital meters, however, take the analog signals and convert them to digital signals. These digital signals represent binary information that a micro-processor can read. The processor can be programmed to interpret the incoming data and then display in on the screen.

When using a digital multimeter it is important to?
Not overload the meter.
What is the analog meter movement?
Has hand instead of digital.
Can digital power meter read the power losses?
Yes. It depends how you want to use the meter
When using a Digital multimeter the black lead usually goes into which port?
On a digital multi-meter the black lead connects to the common (COM) port in the meter.
What are the disadvantages of a digital multimeter?
An analog meter will respond to linearly as current is present . digital meters cannot do that not until the conversion is complete. in essence an analog meter is human friendly as compared to a digital meter. both have their places in applications.
How a digital electric more useful than an analog electric meter?
in a digital meter you get a digital value of your measurement. but in analog meter you have to check the position of the pin along the scale and find out the value.
Is automobile speed meter a digital device?
no.
