0540: How to use a multimeter or tester? UNI-T UT61C model review
► $2 PCB Prototype at https://jlcpcb.com/ (No closing on holidays.)
► Purchase of UNI-T 61B (discontinued): https://www.futurashop.it/UT61B-multi...
Thanks for the tip, I'll highlight it as a featured comment. Due to the passage of time, it has been replaced by these two models.

Video explaining the basic use of a multimeter or tester, even for beginners. I'm also reviewing the UNI-T UT61C multimeter, an extremely compact, complete, and affordable device.
Description
UNI-T UT61C 6000-count autoranging digital multimeter features a large backlit LCD display. It measures both AC and DC voltage and current, resistance, diodes, continuity, capacitance, frequency, temperature, data hold, relative value, peak measurement, low battery indicator, backlight, and "Sleep" mode. The multimeter's structure is made with an advanced co-injection technique that ensures adequate insulation.
