Hardware-wise, the multimeter is just an alternative configuration of the oscilloscope with some additional software added. It measures the difference between the oscilloscope CH1 and CH2 pins, and uses 12-bit samples at 375ksps. The normal oscilloscope uses 8-bit samples only, **so sometimes the multimeter will function as a better oscilloscope than the oscilloscope will**!

As an example, if you are measuring the current through a circuit that you suspect draws 50mA from a 3.3V source, you can guesstimate its load resistance to be 66Ω (as per V=IR). 10% of this is 6.6Ω. To drop 50mV, you’ll need to use at least a 1Ω resistor. So the reference resistor you’ll need for this circuit should be in the range of 1Ω-6.6Ω Ohms. A 2.8Ω or 3.3Ω resistor will be ideal in this case.

For resistance, you’ll want to aim for a reference resistor as close to the load resistance as possible. To be more accurate, you may want to take multiple measurements.
