A multitester, also known as a multimeter, typically consists of several key parts: the display screen, which shows measurements; the selection knob or switch, used to choose measurement modes (voltage, current, resistance, etc.); and the probes, which are used to connect to the circuit or component being tested. Some models may also include additional features like a hold button, backlight, and various input jacks for different types of measurements. Additionally, many multimeters have internal circuitry that processes the measurements and provides accurate readings.

The multitester, also known as the multimeter, seems to have been invented by Donald Macadie, a British Post Office engineer.

To test a flashlight bulb with a multitester, first set the multitester to the resistance (ohms) setting. Then, touch the probes to the metal contacts at the base of the bulb; a reading near zero ohms indicates continuity and that the bulb is functional. If the display shows infinite resistance (OL), the filament is broken, and the bulb is burnt out. Always ensure the flashlight is turned off before testing.
Donald Macadie, post-office engineer, invented the first multimeter in the 1920's. The original multimeter could measure volts, amperes and ohms.
