Hi. The measurement with a voltage tester in a plug is not an indication of its functionality, since being a high impedance instrument (low actual consumption) will not subject it to a situation of electrical demand, if it is useful to know the voltage Exact installation. With a simple homemade test lamp you can get a more true result in terms of utility.

Hi nastor, the problem with a simple homemade lamp that you should also know if it is for 220v or for 110v
since that of 220 will not ignite with 110
and 110 could explode with 220
Now the question they ask on how to measure with multimeter, but not how to know the consumption or demand on the line.

Hi Luis, if it is a 220 volt outlet, it is obvious that you should use a lamp of that voltage, if you cannot distinguish it then nothing can be done because it is very basic, the inscription is on the lamp.
The query is another, what you say is true; but I think I identify the reason why he asks.
In short, I only added one comment: Measuring voltage with a multimeter does not indicate functionality of the socket; And that is so, it is not the way.

Hello, excuse me intruding me, With a pilot with 220 incandescent lamp if there is 110 this will light at medium voltage ...

Hi, I don't want you to be offended Luis, don't misunderstand me, I don't question your answer or solution, unless it's wrong.
I only thought that if someone wants to know how a socket works and if the voltage is correct, I tell him to do it by comparison with a test lamp (incanderance intensity), so as not to have doubts.
If you want to know the line voltage is something else, you can do it on the board or anywhere.
