You
also need a meter for measuring current and another for measuring
voltage, each with good resolution and low error tolerances in order
to produce meaningful results when dealing with measurements on low
resistance circuits. These items may or not be in the possession of
the OP (he hasn't said so).


It is certainly easier to get an accurate current and voltage meter
than it is an accurate ohm meter. Sheesh.
