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.




I use the current measurement frequently, the only time I've had trouble is
going back to voltage measurement after using current and even then it's
rare and results only in a blown fuse.
