Default Multimeters

One of the great pieces of scientific humor was the units for
conductance as mho, with a symbol of an upside down omega [ohms symbol].

It has been ruined. I believe conductance is now Siemens. Who the hell
ever heard of Siemens. I was depressed for weeks.

Conductance is the inverse of resistance. calculated as 1/ohms=mhos

Hi I want to buy a new Multimeter and there are a few features that
currently I have no idea what they mean. Obviously I currently have no
idea for those features but I wondered if somebody can explain to me
what they are/do so maybe in the future I will need them.
1. Conductance
2. Motor Drive Measurement
3. Smoothing
