Fortunately, it's easy to take a quick and accurate reading of your meters.
Most meters have either four or five dials with pointers.
Always begin with the dial farthest to the right. Record the last number the pointer has passed, even if the pointer has nearly reached the next number. Follow the same procedure for each dial. Note that as you move from right to left, each dial rotates in the direction opposite the one before it. If the first dial rotates clockwise, the next will rotate counterclockwise, the third clockwise, and so on.
