How to use a Multimeter for beginners - Part 1 - Voltage Measurement - YouTube Video Series

I found a good Tutorial Video Series, on the Basics of How to use a Multimeter. So far, I have just watched the first few minutes. But, it looks pretty good. I have been using Multimeters, since 1975 and that's how old my Multimeter is... Yep, it still works!:) It's an old Analog Radio Shack Meter.



I've used a few Flukes and such, in my Job, in the Past. And I want to get a New Digital Multimeter. So, I'm doing some research. I've found out, that there are allot of different features to consider. Such as on this one. Autoranging Multimeter Review - YouTube Video, in a previous Post. Not to mention, those completely illogical symbols that the newer ones use, these days... What was wrong with DC-V and AC-V? Made too much common sense, I guess...
