Talking Digital Multimeter

This multimeter provides both visual and spoken readout of measurements.
It does not announce its functions and ranges when they are selected, so you will need a list showing what and where they are located on the rotary switch.
In my tutorial, I describe the meter in detail, and demonstrate some of its functions.
I have also included a table which summarizes the functions and ranges.

Here is a link where the unit can be purchased. For legal reasons, they say it is not recommended for visually impaired users.

Since the meter does not come with a case, I found a suitable one made by Klein Tools. Here is a link where it can be purchased.

The following table summarizes the functions and ranges on the rotary switch of the meter. I label the OFF position as zero, and move clockwise from there.
There are 28 positions on the switch. The switch may be continuously rotated in either direction with no hard stop.
