I would also assume it measures thermoelectric voltage. I have a

you
look pretty hard...

If it's a straight connection to the movement, it may show both a
current and the internal resistance (eg. 50uA/500 ohms), and in the
case of a thermocouple meter like yours, it may have a presumed
resistance value for the total thermocouple circuit (eg. 10 ohms).

Yeah, I do recall seeing something about 10 ohms on the back of it.
Someone was throwing it out and it looked lonely so I took it in....
