Hi...first post...I know, pretty old thread, but well, I feel like it's applicable.
I just bought a DP832 this week, seems like everything is pretty much how it should be, except, well, I think I have something related to this bug. If I have no load, i see the current meter showing .04A, only on CH1. Strangely, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with the current limit that others had mentioned from this thread. I can set the current limit at 1A and still see the issue. The power is always V*I as well, so for 10V output, I see 40mW of power, for 20V output, I see 80mW. Also funny, if I add a small load, the issue disappears. With small enough current draw, I can get the current and power to show 0A and 0W.
I upgraded FW to 1.14 last night, I didn't expect a fix, and I didn't get one. Again, this is a brand new unit. Is there something that's quite possibly wrong with my unit, or is this a new version of the same FW bug? Seems strange that I'm the only one that's seen this of recent.
