Study Notes
Multimeter Modes and Settings
- The current mode on a multimeter has several settings to choose from.
Setting the Range on a Multimeter
- When setting the range on a multimeter, choose a value that is higher than the expected measurement value.
- If you have no idea what current to expect, set the range to the highest value.
- The range should be set before attaching the leads to the circuit.
Resistance Mode on a Multimeter
- The lowest resistance setting is considered the default for the resistance mode on a multimeter.
Voltage Measurement on a Multimeter
- If you expect to measure around 12 volts, set the multimeter to a range higher than 12 volts, not 10V.
Important Reminders
- Not all modes on a multimeter have several settings to choose from.
- It is not recommended to set the multimeter to the highest range for the current mode if you have no idea what current to expect.
- The lowest resistance setting and the 10V setting are not considered as the default for other modes on a multimeter.
