I hate to do this but I'm in a bit of a jam (pressed for time) and an idiot when it comes to using a multimeter. :(
I need to check the rails on a couple of PSUs and after reading several 'how-to' guides I am still lost mainly because the cheap multimeter I am using looks nothing like those used by others!
Can someone please point me in the right direction so I don't fry some hardware?
I'm assuming the setting should be "DC V" but which of the two choices on the bottom should I plug the red + lead into? :confused:
TIA!
