ANENG goes crazy with new meters

Gandalf: How many mA does it guzzle with that display? How many LEDs does it  have?

Gandalf_Sr:
Fungus, the display is bright, clear, perfect contrast, and awesome. As I said before, the picture you reposted is due to my crap photography skills and lots of reflected light in my workshop.

I will check the current draw and get back to you.  When you say how many LEDs, do you mean backlight for the display?  There is one LED for the flashlight which is the usual cheap bluish-white, I see that as a gimmick really.

I really like the Q10 so far, the size is what I like most about it.

Yep. I'm trying to find out how hard they're driving the LEDs, ie. Current draw / number of LEDs.

Second question would be if there's a DC booster inside it or if they're driven directly by the batteries. Is there anything that looks like a DC booster on the PCB? (small IC with an inductor right next to it where the battery connects to the board)

One way to find out would be if the current draw goes up as the battery voltage goes down.

Yep, it looks like a nice meter. I really want one but I'm fighting the urge - I already have a drawer full of ANENGS.

The one thing that bothers me is having the Ohms/Continuity/Diode/Capacitance all on the same selector position

(but my AN870 also does that  |O )

If you get to one full drawer of Anengs it’s like having 19 oscilloscopes, you have reached par and earn the merit badge for that category.  Some merit badges are more impressive than others and I’m not saying that a drawer full of Anengs is as cool as 19 oscilloscopes but a TEA merit badge is a TEA merit badge and I think with 21 merit badges you are a TEA Eagle Scout.  :)
