Hi,
Finally broke down and bought a new Fluke. Had always heard good things about them. Pretty happy with it. But have a couple of questions if someone has one. Read manuals front to back before turning on the meter. Perhaps I am too suffering from buyer remorse.
- Using the MIN,MAX AVG function, I took reading of household outlet. Meter showed 126. beeped a couple of times, and I removed leads. I then used the MINMAX button to step through readings. MAX was 126, MIN was 0 but when I went to AVG it read 52 and then started incrementally counting downward. I was expecting the AVG of the HIGH and LOW readings. Am I missing something?
- If I go to the mV DC. It will read 0.0 but any movement of my hand on face and around dial is immediately detected.
- When reading Ohms, the meter indicates .1 when leads are held together. Is the meter that good?
- Short of a having a calibration lab, are there checks I can make to make sure everything is good?
Thanks,
Sepp
