The same as the function of analog multimeter, but with greater precision and accuracy.
- measure voltage (both DC and AC)
- measure current (both DC and AC)
- measure resistance
Some digital multimeters can also do other things:
- measure capacitance
- measure inductance
- measure frequency
- measure temperature remotely (usually using a thermocouple probe)
- measure current without breaking the circuit (using a clip on magnetic probe)
- test semiconductor devices (diodes, junction transistors, field effect transistors, etc.)
- AF and/or RF signal generator
- etc.

Parts and function of Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter?
A meter that can be used to measure multiple ranges of currents and voltages is called a multimeter. A common type of multimetera combination voltmeter, ohmmeter and milliammeteris abbreviated VOM
What the function of input rectifier at the digital multimeter?
The indicater meter is a DC device, so the rectifier changes AC to DC. A meter could not respond to AC.
Assume that the function range switch is on the 20k position and the multimeter displays 1 when the test leads are across an unknown resistor What would most likely cause the meter to display 1?
the function range switch is not set on a high enough scale
What tool is used to check voltage?
by using a multimeter we can find line voltage.
Why does the multimeter show the RMS value of sine wave but not for the triangular wave?
Because your multimeter is not an adequate device for this kind of measurement. Use the correct multimeter to display the triangular wave value.
Principle of multimeter?
Based on the principle of the D'Arsonval galvanometer, the main function of a multimeter is measuring a circuit's voltage, current, and resistance.
How can a multimeter be used to accurately measure frequency?
A multimeter can accurately measure frequency by selecting the frequency measurement function on the device, connecting the multimeter to the circuit or signal being tested, and reading the displayed frequency value on the multimeter's screen.
What is the function of the com connection on a digital multimeter?
'com' is short for common. This is the ground connection.
What is the function of a output terminal in an analog multimeter?
The purpose is to buffer the input for monitoring purposes
What instrument measures voltage?
Resistance is measured with an ohmmeter. A link is provided to a brief article on the ohmmeter posted at Wikipedia.Note that it is unusual in this day and age to have a device that will measure ohms and nothing else. The ohmmeter is usually included among the functions of a multimeter, and usually a digital multimeter or DMM.
What is the difference of volmeter and multimeter?
A voltmeter is a device used to measure voltage, while a multimeter is a versatile device that can measure voltage, current, and resistance, among other electrical properties. Essentially, a voltmeter is a specific function within a multimeter.
How do you measure with Multimeter a motor or integrated circuit IC for failure?
The voltmeter function if the circuit is energized or the ohmeter function if looking for short or open circuits
What are the function of multimeter?
They allow the user to test: Volts (AC and DC), Amps, Ohms and basic continuity.
How much is the resistance when the function switch is set to x1?
The resistance when the function switch is set to x1 in a multimeter can vary depending on the specific model. Typically, when set to x1, the multimeter will measure resistance up to 200 ohms. Consult the user manual for your specific multimeter for more accurate information.
Parts and function of Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter?
A meter that can be used to measure multiple ranges of currents and voltages is called a multimeter. A common type of multimetera combination voltmeter, ohmmeter and milliammeteris abbreviated VOM
Can a multimeter be used as substitute of ammeter and voltmeter why?
yes it can read both ac and dc voltage and current .AnswerThe whole point of a multimeter is that it can perform the function of an ammeter, a voltmeter, and an ohmmeter!
What is the advantage provided by multimeter?
A multimeter, also called a VOM, is an ohmmeter, ammeter, and voltmeter combined in one case. A function knob can be turned to select the type of measurement to be made, such as volts, amps, or ohms. The multimeter's test lead connections to the circuit will depend on whether you are using it as a voltmeter, an ammeter, or an ohmmeter.
