probably overload. which means whatever is being measured is beyond the range of the current scale.
A DMM measures resistance by passing a known current through the object you are measuring and reads the voltage. You can then calculate the resistance using the equation V=I*R. R=V/I So for 1mA and a return voltage of 1V the resistance must = 1 KOhm. R= 1/0.001 = 1000 Ohm
First of all, DMM stands for Digital Multimeter. The -multi implies the meter measures several different parameters, usually voltage, current, resistance, and sometimes other things such as frequency. The input characteristics of a DMM will be very different depending on the parameter selected. For current, the ideal meter would have zero input resistance. Since the ammeter is inserted in series with the circuit under test, any resistance will alter the measured current, introducing error in the measurement.

Well, measuring current with a Digital Multimeter (DMM) requires breaking the circuit and inserting the meter in series to measure the flow of electrons. On the other hand, measuring voltage involves placing the DMM in parallel across the component to measure the potential difference. Both techniques are important for understanding and troubleshooting electrical circuits, and with practice, you'll become more comfortable and confident using your DMM.
Digital multi-meter (DMM) test procedure:Equipment Requirement - DMM with diode check mode and battery voltage less than 20V. (Typical units using 9V battery are OK).Collector-Emitter Junction test: With the module out of circuit remove the conductive foam and short the gate to emitter.With DMM in diode check mode, the collector to emitter should give a normal diode reading with positive on the emitter and negative on the collector.The DMM should read open or infinite with positive on the collector and negative on the emitter. Damaged IGBTs may test as shorted in both positive and negative directions, open in both directions, or resistive in both directions.Gate Oxide test: With the DMM in resistance mode the resistance from gate to collector and gate to emitter should read infinite on a good device. A damaged device may be shorted or have resistive leakage from gate to collector and/or emitter.

It is always better to remove a component from the circuit for proper testing but most of the time a resistor can be tested with a DMM set to the appropriate ohm scale, the same with a diode where the DMM is set to diode setting. A transistor is more complicated, you first have to find the base connector and with your DMM set to diode, NPN Transistor, with negative probe to the base and positive to emitter or collector the smallest reading will be the collector and the slightly higher reading will be the emitter, no reading mean that it can be a PNP transistor then you will need to swap your probes, still no reading or a very low reading will mean the transistor is damaged In actuality tektronics do make a curve tracer oscilloscope to test active components . But the speed is very limited. So while it may tell you that the part is good or bad it will not tell you how good or how bad it will function in the actual circuit
A digital multimeter (DMM) must have a current measurement scale appropriate for the expected current in the circuit. Choose a scale that is equal to or higher than the maximum expected current in the circuit to ensure accurate measurements and to prevent damage to the DMM.

With an unknown voltage you should start out with the highest voltage setting on the meter. Doing this reduces the risk of "pegging" out the needle on an analog gauge or overloading the input of a DMM. Most DMM's are auto-ranging though.
get a protractor, find a way to set the pot to it, easy way to do that is drilling a hole in the center. now connect ur pot to a dmm and turn it at any angle to get the resistance there
You can use the DMM to test continuity in the cable.
Assuming the DMM is rated to test diodes (not all are), meaning that it presents more than forward drop voltage to the diode, a shorted diode will test nearly zero ohms, usually in both directions.
