Parts of Multi tester
 Pointer – The needle shape rod that moves over the scale of
a meter.
 Range Selector Knob – Makes it possible to select different
functions and range of the meter.
 Adjustment Screw/ Infinity knob – makes it possible to adjust
the pointer to the zero position of the scale
 Scale – is a series of marking used for reading the value of a
quantity
 Test probe- is used to connect the circuit to the electrical
component being tested.
 Zero Ohm adjustment – is used to zero-in the pointer before
measuring resistance.
