I'll answer on two conditions
(1) Rewrite your question. I have absolutely no idea what the heck you're asking.
(2) Write it without using net lingo. And please, check your spelling.

If u r measuring a resistor set ur multimeter to ohm setting, ig u are measuring current, set it to amps. Each category on the multimeter has diffeerent magnitudes such as .001A, 1A 100A and so on. If u expect to measure a 5 amp source, select the amp setting and choose something like 10A.
I think that is how u use it, it's been a while and I know the above are bigger than what is actually on yours.

Explaining it would be an exercise in futility.
