Can anyone improve on the following especially reducing, even further,
the chance of mistakingly using a meter set for current monitoring on
live kit , thinking you are measuring voltage.

Assuming others here are like me, rarely use the current function of a
DVM/DMM. Leave a gummy bright or contrasting sticker over the ammeter
socket of the meter. When transfering the red lead to that socket then
transfer the label to the function or on/off switch.

The ideal would be some sort of mechanical interlock but I cannot see
how.

My Fluke says 'lead' on the display when you change. Hasn't stopped me
blowing a fuse though. ;-)
