+## What's a Multimeter
+A multimeter is an electronic tool used to measure various electrical properties such as voltage, current, resistance, capacitance and frequency.
+It is used for measuring the values of voltage and current at various points in a circuit that can be used for analysis of the electrical circuits and help in troubleshooting.
+
+## How to use it

+</div>
+
+
+* Open the _PSLab_ app
+
+* Navigate to the multimeter option on the _PSLab_ app home screen
+
+* Select the type of the required measurement needed :
+    * Voltage
+    * Frequency
+    * Clock Pulses
+    * Resistance
+    * Capacitance
+
+* For measuring voltage we use:
+    * CH1(16V to -16V)
+    * CH2(16V to -16V)
+    * CH3(3.3V to -3.3 V)
+    * VOL(3.3V to -3.3 V)
+    * CAP(Voltage Measurement on CAP)
+
+<div style="float: right; margin-right: 10px;">
+  <img src="../images/multimeter.jpg" alt="PSLab Pinout for power supply" width="250">
+</div>
+
+* For measuring the frequency(Upto 4 MHz) or clock pulses:
+    * Logic Analyser 1
+    * Logic Analyser 2
+    * Logic Analyser 3
+    * Logic Analyser 4
+
+* For measuring capacitance:
+    * -| (- (pF to uF range)
+
+* For measuring resistance:
+    * Ω
+
+### Important Features
+* Multimeter Configuration:
+    * <strong>Update period</strong> can be selected 
+    * <strong>Location data</strong> can be included in the logged files
+
+* Logged data:
+    * It stores the logs of the data collected by the multimeter
