Digital multimeter bias setting at 200m. Is this right? Photo included

[romanianreaper]

I just got a digital multimeter and want to make sure I have my setting correct because I haven't biased an amp for probably 20 years and this multimeter has a ton of settings.

Based on the icons, looks like there is "DC Voltage", "AC Voltage""Battery", etc. Then there is "200", "200m", etc.

If I'm understanding correctly, I should have the multimeter set at "DC Voltage" and "200m", and based on thr photo I've included, it is the setting over one click from the "Off" setting. Also, I should plug the plugs into the two right most plugs. Is this all correct? Appreciate any help and just want to do it right. I have external bias points on the stealth so adjusting will be a breeze.

You are correct

Yes 200 dc voltage. If you expecting say 50 milliAmps then you want to select the number higher than what you are expecting (so 20 would be too low).

My meter is different than yours but you want volts DC which is the V with a solid line over it with broken lines underneath. Yours has two options 200 and 600. The stuff with M next to it measures miliamps which you don’t want. Your mv will be 1:1 with ma as it’s measured across a 1ohm resistor. And you want your black in the black and red in the far right. I’m not exactly sure how evh does it so fair warning.

Thanks man! I think 53 is the magic number I saw in a video for my amp.

Thanks brother. So I definitely want 200m and not 200?

200m across a 1ohm resistor measuring milli volts will give you a whole number like 53 for the equivalent 53mA. 200 setting across a 1 ohm resistor will give you a decimal reading like 0.053V for the equivalent 53mA. The 200m setting will be more accurate.
