Yes you can check it with a DMM but I find it a PITB.
Put the DMM to "diode" check. When checking B-E/B-C where the analog meter shows condutivity you will see about "0.7V". In the opposite direction you won't see anything.
Same goes for the E-C check, you should not see any serious conductivity (maybe some megohms).
You can start doing that before the scope arrives.
