Hi guys someone who can help me to set my DMM for voltages measurements, Im measuring a transistor for my slambox build. Thanks in advance

Without knowing precisely what your multi meter is, you should set it to the DC Voltage reading, and if it auto selects the range you're good. If it doesn't select the range, you need to set the range to be the best match for what you're reading (i.e 0-10V is a good setting). Touch the black probe to ground, then use the red probe to measure whatever you're trying to get a read on.

Hope that helps.

Your DMM may have multiple sockets for the test leads. Make sure the black lead is in the COM or 0v socket, and the red lead is in the V (or whatever the marking is for voltage measurement), not the mA or A current measurement sockets.
