in response to some complaints I had made at the office, I received as a
gift a brand new analog multimeter
having googled a bit, I came across various pages with steps on "How to use
a multimeter", but a few questions remain
Assume I've connected black probe to COM and red to the other and battery is
inserted
Also assume the selector is set to 500 volts (ACV)
can I simply test a regular 115v wall outlet by inserting both probes into
wall socket holes ?
if I energize a circuit by turning on breaker (30amp), what is the best way
to test the line at the socket end? in case it matters, that plug is a
4-prong 220v (similar to dryer wall socket). can I test with both probles or
is there a sequence since I have two probes but four socket holes?
the manual that came with the multimeter is rather terse
