Can 0957-2304 AC Power Adapter be tested with a DMM?

Mine measures 32 VDC from center contact to left contact but only 3.2 VDC from center contact to right contact.

The green LED does come on.

Is that normal if measured open circuit (with no load)?

Since this is likely a switching power supply, I don't think it requires a load to work properly.

I would expect 32 VDC  from center contact to left contact and 12 VDC from center contact to right contact.

That is normal, that is a switching power supply it switches between 32/12 V depending on needs.  The 3,2V is standby voltage, I have just measured 2,6V on mine without any load.

There is a small icon shoving pin direction on the connector you can see 32/12V pin, ground and standby ( sleep) pin.
