If you don't already have a Multi-Meyer, get one and familiarize yourself with it's basic functions.

It's a valuable basic tool in your arsenal.
haha, you had me going there for a minute.... i thought maybe multi-meyer was possibly the german spelling for multi-meter or something, so i contacted Alexa and she said, no. the german spelling for meter was the same as that in English. ...and then i took a good look at my keyboard and noticed the "y" and "t" were next to one another.
