Don't measure voltage, measure resistance. It should be infinite and then drop down to 0 and then go back up to infinity.

edit: If our multimeter is not fast enough (it is a 500ms pulse) the pulse may nto be recognised by your multimeter (unlikely) or the resistance value reported wont go all the way to 0 before going back up to infinity. As long as the resistance value lowers you can be sure the pulse is being sent.
