Continuity Test
Continuity or short circuit test
Continuity checks ensure a reliable, low resistance connection between
two points. For example, check the continuity of a cable between two
connectors to ensure that both ends are connected properly. Set your
analogue multimeter to a low resistance scale (X1 Ohms), short (touch)
the red and the black probes together, the pointer will go to zero ohm. If it
is not zero, adjust the zero adjuster for bringing the pointer to exact zero
ohms.
