→How To Measure With The Leads
All current functions must be measured in series. This means you must choose an injection point in your circuit, break the electrical connection between the components, and connect the digital multimeter leads in a way that bridges the connection between the components. This is a series measurement. If you just made a voltage measurement and you are about to perform a current measurement, this requires several steps. First, turn off all source voltages. Second, disconnect the digital multimeter leads from the circuit. Third, swap the lead from the "V Ω Diode Hz Continuity" terminal to the 20A terminal. Fourth, alter your circuit so that you can insert the digital multimeter leads in series at your desired injection point. Fifth, turn the source voltages back on.

And finally, the digital multimeter has a real affection for measuring things hands-on. As you might guess, its primary love language is physical touch.
