Well, crap, I thought I had one out in the garage but I can't find it. From my not-so-good memory, I think you stick a needle or pin into the green wire (sounds wierd but I don't even remember what color wires are there) and connect the multimeter to that. Look on the Corral in their tech articles. I think they have a how to on setting it and which wires to use. It's easy for me, I've got the Moates Quarter Horse for tuning and I just start a log s e s s i o n and look at my laptop and see what the reading is. Then I just move it around till I get about .98 volts and lock it down.

green wire is positive, black is ground.

be sure to check the voltage with the throttlebody closed first, then move the throttlebody blade to WOT and watch the voltage as you do this. It should slowly rise, if it jumps around you probably have a dead spot and need to replace the TPS
