Digital multimeters


All digital meters contain a battery to power the display so they use virtually no power from the circuit under test. This means that on their DC voltage ranges they have a very high resistance (usually called input impedance) of 1M ohm or more, usually 10M ohm , and they are very unlikely to affect the circuit under test.
Typical ranges for digital multimeters like the one illustrated:
(the values given are the maximum reading on each range)
 
 

DC Voltage: 200mV, 2000mV, 20V, 200V, 600V.
AC Voltage: 200V, 600V.
DC Current: 200µA, 2000µA, 20mA, 200mA, 10A*.
*The 10A range is usually unfused and connected via a special socket.

AC Current: None. (You are unlikely to need to measure this).

Resistance: 200ohm, 2000ohm, 20kohm, 200kohm, 2000kohm, Diode Test
 

Digital meters have a special diode test setting because their resistance ranges cannot be used to test diodes and other semiconductors
