Digital and analog multimeters can measure voltage, current, and resistance. Analog multimeters use a moving pointer to display readings on a numeric scale, while digital multimeters display numeric readings digitally. Both may also show a graphical bar representing measured values. Digital multimeters are now more common due to lower cost and greater precision, but analog models are still preferred in some cases when monitoring rapidly changing values. Both types of multimeters contain components like function switches, input terminals, and batteries.
