In this example, we'll use the Digital Multimeter with Probe to measure the voltage of a battery using the I2C interface with an Arduino board.
```cpp
#include <Wire.h>
#define MULTIMETER_ADDRESS 0x1E // I2C address of the digital multimeter
void setup() {
  Wire.begin(); // Initialize I2C interface
  Serial.begin(9600); // Initialize serial interface for debugging
}
void loop() {
  Wire.beginTransmission(MULTIMETER_ADDRESS);
  Wire.write(0x01); // Select voltage measurement
  Wire.endTransmission();
Wire.requestFrom(MULTIMETER_ADDRESS, 2); // Read 2 bytes of data
  int voltageValue = Wire.read() << 8 | Wire.read(); // Combine high and low bytes
  float voltage = voltageValue  0.01; // Convert to volts
Serial.print("Voltage: ");
  Serial.print(voltage);
  Serial.println(" V");
delay(1000); // Wait 1 second before taking the next measurement
}
```
### Example 2: Measure Resistance using SPI Interface (Raspberry Pi)
In this example, we'll use the Digital Multimeter with Probe to measure the resistance of a resistor using the SPI interface with a Raspberry Pi.
```python
import spidev
import time
# Initialize SPI interface
spi = spidev.SpiDev()
spi.open(0, 0)  # Use CE0
# Define the digital multimeter's SPI commands
CMD_MEASURE_RESISTANCE = 0x02
CMD_READ_DATA = 0x03
try:
    while True:
        # Send command to measure resistance
        spi.xfer([CMD_MEASURE_RESISTANCE])
# Wait for measurement to complete
        time.sleep(0.1)
# Read the measured resistance value
        data = spi.xfer([CMD_READ_DATA, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00])
        resistanceValue = (data[1] << 8) | data[2]
        resistance = resistanceValue  0.1  # Convert to ohms
print("Resistance: {:.1f} ohms".format(resistance))
time.sleep(1)  # Wait 1 second before taking the next measurement
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    spi.close()
```
### Example 3: Continuity Test using UART Interface (ESP32)
In this example, we'll use the Digital Multimeter with Probe to perform a continuity test using the UART interface with an ESP32 board.

  Serial.begin(MULTIMETER_UART_BAUD);
}
void loop() {
  Serial.println("C"); // Send command for continuity test
if (Serial.available() > 0) {
    char response = Serial.read();
    if (response == 'B') {
      Serial.println("Continuity test: OK");
    } else {
      Serial.println("Continuity test: Failed");
    }
  }
delay(1000); // Wait 1 second before taking the next measurement
}
