+## 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 to measure voltage and current values 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 measurement needed :
+    * Voltage
+    * Frequency
+    * Clock Pulses
