This question should be two parts one is safety the other common sense. to measure very hi voltage electrical gloves must be used along with an overseeing partner. for low voltage make sure the scale is set to maximum voltage on the meter and scale down

What purpose might the multimeter serve in maintaining and troobleshooting a computer network?
With the multimeter you can measure the voltage on parts of the circuit board. You can also measure the resistance of resistors and make sure there are no short circuits in the circuit.
When measuring voltage how should test probes be connected?
First connect the positive terminal of the voltage line to positive terminal of multimeter and negative to negative terminal of multimeter. Select voltage in multimeter and measure the voltage
What is the difference of volmeter and multimeter?
A volt meter can only measure voltage. A multimeter can measure other items such as resistance and continuity.
Besides voltage and resistance what else can your multimeter measure?
current
Do you need to calibrate a multimeter?
measure the voltage,amphere resestance
Why is it called multimeter?
since it stands for voltage ohm meter :) can measure voltage current and resistance
What will the multimeter show if it is used to measure the voltage of the ac half wave rectified voltage?
rms value of voltage
What are three test that the digital multimeter is used for?
To measure voltage, current and resistance.
How do you use an analog multimeter to measure voltage?
Just set to AC or DC volts and probe the two points you wish to measure voltage across.
What do you need to calibrate a multimeter?
Technically, you don't. You need to calibrate a multimeter with something that is much more precise and accurate than a multimeter, such as a voltage, current, and resistance standard. Otherwise, it is not called a calibration.
Why is it harder to measure amperage than voltage whit a digital multimeter?
Because to measure amperage you must connect the multimeter in series , in order to do so the circuit must be broken first. In the case with voltage measurements the multimeter probes must be connected in parallel which is far easier because connecting the multimeter this way the circuit will remain intact.
How do you test that inverter battery is exhausted or need to be replaced?
Use a multimeter to measure the voltage.
