tuned circuit
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
Because your multimeter is not an adequate device for this kind of measurement. Use the correct multimeter to display the triangular wave value.
by noticing the polarity of theohmmeter a diode can be checked for continuity and blocking ability However it will not tell you how good or bad the device itself is BY keeping the multimeter in diode mode and keeping properly the positive and negative terminals of the multimeter. If the diode is good multimeter will show a reading of 0.5 else there will be a short.

Resistance and Continuity
Use a multimeter set to continuity position and touch one probe from your multimeter to each conductor. If you hear a tone from the multimeter then your fuse is good.
Ohms scale on a multimeter
An ohmmeter or a multimeter on the ohmmeter setting (Ω) can be used to determine if there is a break in a wire. To prevent damage to the meter, make sure that there is no power going to the wire and, if it is part of a circuit, that any capacitance in the circuit has had time to dissipate. Test the continuity of the wire by touching one lead to each end of the wire. If the wire is good, the resistance will be near zero; if it is bad, the resistance will be off the scale. Most multimeters have a setting specifically designed for testing continuity. While on that setting, the meter beeps whenever continuity is detected. This procedure can also be used to determine if a fuse is blown.
A volt meter can only measure voltage. A multimeter can measure other items such as resistance and continuity.
A multimeter is an instrument used to check for AC or DC voltages, resistance and continuity of electrical components, and small amounts of current in circuits. This instrument will let you check to see if there is voltage present on a circuit.

Use a multimeter selected to test continuity. And some have an audible beep to tell if your coax if fine. No beep means your cable is broke.
You can test a battery by using multimeter. Set the multimeter to the DC voltmeter setting and then place the leads of the multimeter across the leads of the battery. the multimeter will have a readout of the voltage.
Generally, dryer coils either work or they don't. A multimeter can help you determine if a dryer coil is "burned out". If the coil has "continuity", it's probably fine. Generally, if there is a hot spot in the coil it will burn out rapidly.
Continuity setting.
Remove the bulb, then with a multimeter check if there is curennt flowing through the wires most pool lights are 12v ac. If you have no current then the transfomer is not working or not connected. Check the bulb with a multimeter to ensure continuity, if no continuity then replace light bulb.
