Multimeter features and functions explained

Digital multimeters are on more electricians’ toolbelts, finding more problems than any other comparable test tools. Digital multimeters give electricians, HVAC engineers and inspectors exactly what they need: accurate measurements; consistent, reliable performance; and safe operation. All our meters are tested to the extreme: drop, shock, humidity, you name – and we offer a 7-year warranty for specific digital multimeters.

But what exactly is a digital multimeter and what can you do with it? Our application note answers these and other questions:

  • how do you make measurements safely?
  • what features do you need?
  • what is the easiest way to get the most out of your meter?
  • which meter is best suited to the environment you’re working in?
