I've only had it a couple of weeks... It worked fine, but now it has a
negative 5.5-7.0mV bias.
Rev 5 PCB, Serial #004118, Cr2025 @ 2.8V (when on, on mA range)
With my multimeter on mV, connected to the Voltage Output terminals, and nothing connected to the Current input:
- When OFF, it reads 00.00mV
- When ON, it reads:
- nA=+04.45mV
- uA=-05.50mV
- mA=-05.50mV
- When SHORT, it reads -05.60mV.
If I measure a 5.03V source through a resistor, I get
- 5.03V through 10K (9,998ohm) resistor on uA scale:
- Floating=-07.02mV
- Connected=+507.0mV
- 5.03V through 1K (993ohm) resistor on mA scale:
- Floating=-06.66 mV
- Connected=-01.61 mV
I'm perfectly willing to accept that I've blown something: but what? Where? The fact that it still measures reasonably accurately, but with a -6mV bias, is both humorous (-06.66V) and factorable when measuring, but it is a little irritating!
With thanks for any suggestions
