Interesting one about multi-meters in a BL service instruction booklet.
To set the TPS (throttle position sensor) as fitted to early (1980) Rover V8 Lucas injection.
It is a large carbon pot sitting across 5v (nearly) and provides a variable voltage out by throttle position. Quite a chunky device with twin wipers, so a lot more butch than the average volume control.
It is adjustable, and the original way to set was to use a BL special tool. You set it to null a couple of LEDs. No doubt cost a fortune.
The later Land Rover guide gives a method using a volt meter. Pic shows a DVM - rather than an AVO 8, etc. You connect to output and ground and set it to 0.325v +/-0.025v.
It's the note below which is interesting:- CAUTION: The following adjustment must be made using a voltmeter set to a maximum scale of not more than 10v. If a voltmeter of more than 10 volt scale is used the potentiometer will be irreparably damaged.
Try as I might, I ain't got a fooking clue what they're on about. ;-)
