 POINTER– The needle-shape rod that moves over the scale of a meter.

– It is mechanically connected to the moving coil. It indicates the measured

values on the multimeter.

RANGE SELECTOR KNOB

-(selector switch) makes it possible to

select different function and range of
the meter.
ADJUSTMENT SCREW

– 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 quantity. Scale can have different types
of scale, for voltage and current readings the
scales have mostly linear which mean equal
division for resistance .

TEST PROBE

- Positive (red) negative (black) is use to connect the circuit to the

electrical components being tested.

 ZERO-OHM ADJUSTMENT KNOB

– is used to zero-in the pointer before measuring

resistance
