Go to this site

It's a demo, but you'll only need it for a couple of tones (and you can save the tones to your hard drive). It works well and you can use any frequency you want at a 0db reference.
As far as the meter, set it to AC voltage (True RMS is nice, but not necessary).

set the volt meter to DC 20v. it should have a section labeled DC in the corner, and a spot to turn the nob to 20. that means it will read a maximum of 20 volts in that setting. take the red lead, and hold it to the pre amp wire, take the black lead and touch it to the body frame. tada, your voltage.

this is a pre-out. it's an AC voltage.
