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.
