Hi,
I have a Radio Shack 22-812 that reads a bit low on both DC volts and DC amps vs. my Fluke 179. I'd like to try to make the RS align with the Fluke. On the circuit board of the RS is an adjustment of some type for DCV (and also for ACV, 20uF, and 200nF).
1. Any chance if I just adjust the DCV setting I can get the DC volts to read a few more millivolts? (On the same circuit the Fluke reads 1.555 volts and the RS reads 1.549 volts)?
2. In looking at the DCV adjustment point it looks like some sort of very small POT that seems to have a pin size hole the size of a needle in the middle (it would have been a lot easier if it has been designed for small screw driver). Any idea about what sort of tool is needed? And is it just a matter of turning the setting slightly clockwise? - Or am I looking at the bottom of the adjustment point and even though it's labeled facing this direction maybe I need to remove the circuit board and adjust it from the other side?
Thanks for any info. EF
