What is a digital multi-meter? A digital multi-meter is a test tool used to measure basic electrical values namely voltage, current, capacitance and resistance. It is also used to test for continuity in a conductor. Parts and functions of a Digital multi-meter   Display: This is the where measurement values or readouts can be seen Test leads: These are flexible insulated wires which are to be inserted into the input jacks. Rotary switch: This is meant for selecting measurement values e.g voltage, current or resistance. Input jacks: These are points where the test leads are being inserted For the purpose of this training, a DMM single 32 position switch for function and range with model number DT-9205A is used. It is very common in the Nigerian market. What Values can be measured with a digital multi-meter(DMM)? Voltage: Voltage is the pressure from an electrical circuit’s power source that pushes current
