An Intel 8049 microcontroller, as used in a HP3478A Multimeter. (10 words)
A digital multimeter samples the quantity being measured and then displays it. (12 words)
A properly functioning capacitor should allow current to flow when voltage is applied, then the current slowly decreases to zero and this "signature" is easy to see on an analog multimeter but not on a digital multimeter. (37 words)
Alternating current sensing Since the basic indicator system in either an analog or digital meter responds to DC only, a multimeter includes an AC to DC conversion circuit for making alternating current measurements. (33 words)
A multimeter can be a hand-held device useful for basic fault finding and field service work, or a bench instrument which can measure to a very high degree of accuracy. (31 words)

A multimeter can be assumed to be "average responding" to AC waveforms unless stated as being a "True RMS" type.
An average responding multimeter will only meet its specified accuracy on AC volts and amps for purely sinusoidal waveforms.
An Intel 8049 microcontroller, as used in a HP3478A Multimeter.
An RMS sensing multimeter must be used to measure the actual RMS currents and voltages (and therefore apparent power).
An un-amplified analog multimeter combines a meter movement, range resistors and switches.
A typical multimeter will give incorrect results when attempting to measure the AC current in a non-sinusoidal waveform; citation the instruments sense the average value of the rectified waveform.
Burden voltage Any ammeter, including a multimeter in a current range, has a certain resistance.
Common voltages A multimeter can be used to measure the voltage between two positions.
For example, a four-digit multimeter would automatically select an appropriate range to display 1.234 instead of 0.012, or overloading.
For example, a very low cost multimeter with a sensitivity of 1000 ohms per volt would draw 1 milliampere from a circuit at full scale deflection.
If there are slight changes in readings, the needle of an analog multimeter will track them while digital multimeters may miss them or be difficult to read.
