Brymen BM789

Hi owners!
Who could repeat my simple experiment to check the accuracy of the Crest mode?
I manually closed and opened the switch shown in the diagram, simulating a voltage drop. The average value for several measurements in the Crest mode was 7.60 V. As a result, the relative error was approximately 4%.
Is this a normal error? What will happen to you?

I saw your double post about the car battery. Personally, I would use a scope for that application.
For the BM789, assuming we meet the 35ms minimum, in this range I would expect it to fall within +/-1V. Yours appears much tighter than that.
CREST mode (Instantaneous Peak Hold)
Accuracy: Specified accuracy +/- 100 digits for changes > 0.35ms in duration
Availability: Voltage and Current functions
Resolution: 6000 counts
For the BM869s:
Crest mode (Instantaneous Peak Hold)
Resolution: 5000 counts
Accuracy: Specified accuracy +/- 100 digits
for changes > 0.8ms in duration
For the Fluke 189:
Specified accuracy ±100 counts up to 5,000 count (full
range) reading. For higher peak readings (to 20,000
counts), specified accuracy ± 2% of reading.
250 μs for repetitive peaks; 2.5 ms for single events. Use DC function settings below 20 Hz. 50 mV range not specified.

Yes, it seems so. And that's what Brymen's engineer answered me too: "07.60V" reading falls in "+- 100 digits" tolerance.
It was not very clear to me what these +-100 digits meant. But now everything has become clear. If you add this systematic error to the readings, the result coincides with what the oscilloscope showed.

brymen 785 would be like some fluke 83 85 87 series ... no dual displays, but vs the dual display ones, the price gap is not huge ... ?
old Gossens have the auto mode i sometimes use, switch between ohms volts ... practical loll

I had a quick look at the manuals for some of the other higher end meters I have on-hand but don't believe any of them are spec'ed much better.
