What "system" in peticular are you measuring? If you are measuring electrical then just put the com lead to the neg terminal on the battery and the red lead on the pos terminal on the battery. Also make sure it is the V with the straight line near it and not the V with the wavy line near it.

sounds like he's trying to set his gains with the multimeter, could be wrong though.
