On a digital multi-meter the black lead connects to the common (COM) port in the meter.
Not overload the meter.
When a digital multimeter displays "OL" while measuring resistance in ohms, it indicates an overload condition, meaning the resistance is too high to be measured by the meter. This typically occurs when the resistance is infinite, such as in an open circuit. In essence, it signifies that there is no continuity or that the component being tested is non-conductive.
I would imagine that reversing the leads would rectify that. (No pun intended.)
by using a multimeter we can find line voltage.
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 resistanceSome digital multimeters can also do other things:measure capacitancemeasure inductancemeasure frequencymeasure 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 generatoretc.

A Multimeter is an electronic instrument, every electronic technician and engineer’s widely used piece of test equipment. A multimeter is mainly used to measure the three basic electrical characteristics of voltage, current, and resistance. There are two types of multimeters: Analog Multimeter: The Analog Multimeter or VOM (Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter) is constructed using a moving coil meter and a pointer to indicate the reading on the scale. Digital Multimeter: We mostly used a multimeter is a digital multimeter (DMM). The DMM performs all functions from AC to DC other than analog. It has two probes positive and negative indicated with black and red color as shown in the figure. there are some best multimeters for HVAC.
The accuracy is the biggest advantage.
To test a start capacitor using a digital multimeter, set the multimeter to the capacitance measurement mode. Disconnect the capacitor from the circuit and discharge it. Connect the multimeter leads to the capacitor terminals and read the capacitance value displayed on the multimeter. Compare this value to the rated capacitance of the capacitor to determine if it is functioning properly.
No, a digital multimeter, in most cases, does not have a built-in voltage standard which is why, if you are using it for calibrated work, it needs to be calibrated professionally. I am a Field Service Engineer and have been in the electronics field for about 30 years and I've always used calibrated multimeters (usually calibrated by an outside source).
A multimeter is an indicator for general measuring purposes. It usually not acurate enough to take measurement of hi precision.
This is nearly impossible unless the digital multimeter has either:a built in capacitance meter functionan analog bargraphIt was actually much easier to do on the old style cheap analog multimeters with a needle using the ohms scale than it is on modern digital multimeters.
Do: Each time you do an ohms test using an analog multimeter, touch the two probes together and use the calibration dial to "zero it out." For a digital multimeter, touch the probes together and it automatically calibrates itself. Donot: Don't switch multimeter functions while the meter is energized.
To measure hertz using a multimeter, set the multimeter to the frequency measurement mode. Connect the multimeter's probes to the circuit or device you want to measure. The multimeter will display the frequency in hertz.
To check for power in a circuit using a multimeter, set the multimeter to the voltage setting, connect the black probe to the ground and the red probe to the positive terminal of the circuit, and read the voltage displayed on the multimeter. This will show if there is power flowing through the circuit.
To check for power in a circuit using a multimeter, set the multimeter to the voltage setting, connect the black probe to the ground and the red probe to the live wire, and read the voltage displayed on the multimeter. Make sure the circuit is turned on and be cautious of electrical hazards.
To measure frequency in hertz using a multimeter, set the multimeter to the frequency measurement mode. Connect the multimeter's probes to the circuit or signal you want to measure. The multimeter will display the frequency in hertz on its screen.
