Multimeter 101 Help Please
My question pertains to the correct settings on the multimeter. The neighbor I borrowed one from wasn't sure which setting to use. Can someone help please.
I used the one which has a "wavy line" above a "mA" with another large script "A" below the other letters. There is also another setting with the
same wavy line above what looks like a italic looking "u" next to an "A"
Anyone?
When I turned on the multimeter it stayed on 0.02 and didn't change
no matter how I moved around the two connection points to insure a
good connection. Is it possible that there is something wrong with the
multimeter, or am I missing doing something right?
