A maker's guide to digital multimeter specifications uses resolution for the smallest increment the instrument is able to detect and display, and explains that a multimeter's resolution is expressed in counts or in digits. It relates range to resolution: selecting a lower range gives finer resolution, so the most accurate reading is taken on the lowest range that does not overload the meter.
