Multimeters are capable of measuring a variety of parameters. The ability to measure voltage and resistance, as well as continuity testing and diode testing, is standard in every instrument. In addition, individual multimeters include additional measurement options such as current, frequency, capacitance, and temperature. Digital multimeters have the advantage of a clear display that is easy and straightforward to read. Errors due to incorrect conversions of measurement ranges or reading mistakes are a thing of the past with these devices.
