A digital multimeter is a instrument which is used to measure voltage, current, resistance also it can measures frequency and periodic waveforms. It manly used as test equipement, for example if you had created a circuit you can use it to see if there a fault so then it can be corrected.

Digital meters tend to be more accurate, as they have a very high input impedance, so have less affect on the circuit being measured.

Having a digital output gets round the parallax problem reading a needle.

Having no moving parts, makes them more rugged and less likely to get out of calibration.

The only downside of a digital meter is its harder to see a fluctuating measurement. Watching a needle is better in this case, than watch numbers change.
