The multimeter is probably the one measuring instrument most often used

in the garage. It can be used for all quick voltage or resistance measurements.
A practical multimeter should meet the following minimum requirements:
DC V= various measuring ranges for direct voltage (mV, V)
DC A= various measuring ranges for direct current (mA, A)
AC V= various measuring ranges for alternating voltage
AC A= various measuring ranges for alternating current
As an additional option we recommend taking the measuring ranges for
temperature and frequency into consideration as well. The input
resistance should be a minimum of 10 M.
