Abstract
A digital multimeter includes a body having a function selector and a first coupler and includes a head having a display and a second coupler. The function selector selects a parameter to be measured, and the display displays a measurement corresponding to the parameter to be measured. The first and second couplers are engaged in a first arrangement joining the body and the head, and the first and second couplers are disengaged in a second arrangement separating the body and the head.

A digital multimeter, comprising:
- a body including a function selector and a first coupler, the function selector being configured to select a parameter to be measured;
- and
- a head including a display and a second coupler corresponding to the first coupler on the body, the display being configured to display a measurement corresponding to the parameter to be measured;
- wherein the first and second couplers are engaged in a first arrangement joining the body and the head in a substantially rigid arrangement, and the first and second couplers are disengaged in a second arrangement separating the body and the head;
- and
- wherein the digital multimeter is operational in the first arrangement and in the second arrangement.
A digital multimeter, comprising:
- a body including a function selector and a first coupler;
- and
- a head including a display and a second coupler corresponding to the first coupler;
- wherein the body and the head are configured to be separated and rejoined to a substantially rigid arrangement;
- and
- wherein the digital multimeter is configured to be operational when the body and the head are separated.
A method of remotely displaying a measured electrical parameter with respect to measuring the electrical parameter, the method comprising:
- disjoining a display with respect to a body, the display being configured to display the measured electrical parameter and the body including a function selector being configured to select the electrical parameter, wherein the head and the body comprise a pair of corresponding couplers capable of joining the head and the body in a substantially rigid arrangement, and wherein the body and the head are configured to be operational whether disjoined or rejoined;
- and
- communicating the measured electrical parameter from the body to the display.
