Digital Multimeter with Probe:

A digital multimeter (DMM) with probes is a versatile electronic instrument used for measuring various electrical properties. Here are the key components and features you'll find in a typical digital multimeter along with probes:

1. Display:
   • A digital multimeter features a digital display that shows numerical readings of the measured values.
2. Selection Knob:
   • The selection knob allows you to choose the type of measurement you want to perform, such as voltage (AC/DC), current (AC/DC), resistance, capacitance, and sometimes other specialized measurements.
3. Input Jacks:
   • The multimeter will have input jacks where you plug in the test leads or probes. Common jacks include COM (common or ground), VΩmA (for voltage, resistance, and current), and sometimes additional jacks for specific functions.
4. Probes:
   • Test leads or probes are essential accessories that come with a multimeter. They typically consist of a red lead for positive connections and a black lead for negative or common connections.
   • The probes often have sharp tips for probing components, and they may include crocodile clips for hands-free measurements.
5. Measuring Ranges:
   • The multimeter will have various ranges for each type of measurement (voltage, current, resistance, etc.). The selection knob allows you to choose the appropriate range for your measurement.
6. Auto-ranging:
   • Some digital multimeters are auto-ranging, meaning they automatically select the appropriate measurement range based on the applied signal. Manual-ranging multimeters require you to set the range manually.
7. Hold and Backlight:
   • A "Hold" button allows you to freeze the display reading, and a backlight feature helps in low-light conditions.
8. Battery Compartment:
   • Digital multimeters are powered by batteries, and the battery compartment is usually located on the back of the device.
9. Built-in Functions:
   • Some advanced multimeters may include additional features such as frequency measurement, duty cycle measurement, diode testing, and continuity testing.
