I think what he is getting @ is what are you trying to measure? Voltage, Resistance etc
If its an Unlooper (going by the powersync reference), then you will turn your meter onto the Voltage setting...
Ohm is a reference to the resistance of a component/circuit (headphone setting).
But, again... MORE INFO PLZ

Ahh, I think I get you now, you mean the symbol on the left below when you say head phones.

That is an Omega, the symbol for ohms, so YES, that is the correct setting to measure resistance.

You may need to set an appropriate setting on the turn switch as well, I can't see from the picture what it has on it.
