I was given a Fluke 75 Series II recently. It works fine when measuring voltage, and I haven't tried measuring current.
When measuring resistances below about 100 ohms, I see it counting down slower and slower. For really low resistances (in the single digits) it can take a couple of minutes to stabilize. If I short the probes together, it just seems like it's going to count forever without ever getting to zero.
My questions:
1) Is this normal behavior?
2) Is it a common symptom of something?
3) If it's abnormal, is there anything I can do about it?
4) Or should I just not ask it to do what it doesn't like doing? Gift horse and all that.
