what is multimeter used for

Multimeter is a very basic electronic troubleshooting equipment. They can be either analog or digital multimeter. It is used to directly measure electrical values of voltage (V), current in milliamperes (mA) or amperes (A), and resistance in ohms. VOMs (volt-ohm-milliammeters) devices are analog types, and DMMs (digital multimeters) devices are digital types.

In computer troubleshooting, use of multimeter mainly involves DC voltage readings. These measurements usually involve checking the DC power-supply. It can also be used to check the voltage level across a system board capacitor to verify that the system is receiving power properly.
