Indotech Digital Multi Meter (IDMS010) – A Indotech Digital Multi Meter is a device for measuring various electrical characteristics, hence the term “multi”. Depending on the design and functionality, a multi meter can be used to measure DC voltages and currents, AC voltages and currents, frequencies, capacities, resistances or temperatures. A test for the operation of transistors, diodes, or the electrical continuity can also be performed with the device. In contrast to the mobile multi meter, the digital multi meter is designed for stationary use at a laboratory or workshop. Digital multi meters are now far more common due to their cost and precision, but analog multi meters are still preferable in some cases, for example when monitoring a rapidly varying value. Often they include a number of additional specialized features or advanced options. Technicians with specific needs, therefore, can seek out a model targeted for particular tasks.

The face of a digital multi meter typically includes four components:

• Display: Where measurement readouts can be viewed.
• Buttons: For selecting various functions; the options vary by model.
• Dial (or rotary switch): For selecting primary measurement values (volts, amps, ohms).
• Input jacks: Where test leads are inserted.
