A digital multimeter (DMM) is a widely used electronic measuring instrument with multiple functions and features that can measure various electrical quantities. Here are some of the main uses of a digital multimeter:

Voltage measurement: A digital multimeter can measure direct current voltage (DCV) and alternating current voltage (ACV). By selecting different ranges, it can measure voltages from a few millivolts to several kilovolts.

Current measurement: A digital multimeter can measure direct current (DCA) and alternating current (ACA). Similar to voltage measurement, it also has different ranges to accommodate currents of different sizes.

Resistance measurement: Using the Ohm range (Ω), a digital multimeter can measure resistance. By measuring the current through the resistor and the voltage across the resistor, the meter can calculate the resistance value.

Capacitance and inductance measurement: Some advanced digital multimeters also have the function of measuring capacitance (CAP) and inductance (IND). This can help users understand the status of these components in the circuit.

Diode and transistor test: Some digital multimeters have diode and transistor test functions to check the quality and performance of these components.

Continuity test: Using the buzzer range (BEEPER), the digital multimeter can test the continuity of the circuit, helping users quickly locate open or short circuit problems.

Frequency and duty cycle measurement: For AC signals, digital multimeters can measure the frequency (FREQ) and duty cycle (DUTY CYCLE) of the signal.

Temperature measurement: Some digital multimeters are equipped with a temperature sensor that can measure temperature directly.

Continuity test: used to check the continuity in the circuit and ensure the integrity of wires, cables and circuit boards.

Other functions: Some advanced digital multimeters also have additional functions such as data hold (HOLD), automatic shutdown (AUTO OFF), automatic range (AUTO RANGE) to improve measurement efficiency and user experience.

In short, the digital multimeter is a powerful electronic measurement tool that is widely used in electronic engineering, electricity, communications, maintenance and quality control. Through its precise, fast and convenient measurement functions, the digital multimeter has become one of the indispensable tools for engineers and technicians.
