After a long wait my new DP832 arrived yesterday but there is an issue. Channel 1 shows 40ma of current 20 seconds after startup (and channel turned on) even when there is no load. If I put a resistor accross the terminals sufficient for 1ma current flow the spurious reading goes away. If I put a proper load onto channel 1 or 2 they both read the same. The 40ma reading just vanishes. My resolution is only 10ma so should I just keep a high value resistor accross the terminals or send it back?
I guess sending it back is a no brainer but that means doing without for many more weeks as I know the distributer has no stock. Has anyone seen this before?
