Hi. I have just purchased a Mastech MS8040 bench multimeter. It has 5 digits and good accuracy for the price (~$200AU). Sits on my bench and gets used most days.
The MS8040 has a large, easy to read LCD display with back-light capability.
My problem: the back-light has to be switched on manually and only stays on for less than 1 min, despite the unit being powered from 240vAC.
When I am taking lots of measurements, it is a pain to continually press the back-light button to read the display.
Any suggestions on how to modify the unit so that the back-light stays on permanently or at least 10 min or more?
