Voltmeter 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Scott on  Wed Nov 27 18:37 CST 2002 [RELATED]

My apologies in advance for the following rather rudimentary questions, but here goes...

Does a voltmeter measure real time output at the alternator, or just "available" power in the vehicle's electrical system? Is it wired directly to the alternator, or is it merely another device that is wired into the system? If the latter, does it draw sufficient current to skew the reading?
