It has many features, such as automatic identification, automatic measurement range, high measurement accuracy and speed, wide measuring range and so on. An ordinary multimeter only provides DC mode for resistance measurement, while the MS5308 provides both AC and DC measurement modes. A variety of test frequencies up to 100Khz can be provided for inductance, capacitance and resistance in AC mode to meet the actual needs better. Correct usage can ensure that the instrument will work precisely for a long time.
