Hi
I own an old Metex MS-9150 instrument with a strange behavior in its DMM ohmeter:
The displayed resistance is exactly HALF the value of resistor under test in all the (automatic) resistance ranges !
DMM is based on MAX134 together with Metex KS57C2016 custom uP
I got (bad resolution) schematics from electrotanya
https://elektrotanya.com/metex_ms-9150_sm.pdf/download.html , I measured a lot of voltages/references and components values they are ok
MAX134 datasheet clearly talks about half resistance measured value that must be multiplied by two by MAX134 itself or externally by microprocessor, so my idea is this operation doesn't take place.
But the X2 (or called /2) operation is a bit set by logic dialog between MAX134 and uP , it seems strange to me something in this has broken...
I cannot find the failure, I'm trying to repair it by more than a month and I'm almost giving it up.
Any suggestion or already similar issue ?
Thank you
