This switch position will never be used by any people in critical industries. In fact, I could see field manuals enhanced by warnings that it should not be used as a replacement for current safety procedures.

I've worked at companies that would lap this feature up and immediately write it into the test procedure.

I have no doubt that it would seem cool to middle management bureaucrats at first sight.
But it is not a replacement for Live Dead Live Test, not a replacement for calibration and calibration stickers and battery voltage check is already part of procedure (no need for battery voltage, just go/no go).
To make it even worse, there is no traceability, no way to check if someone did the test, when they did it and who did the test. User can disable calibration warning from menu easily.

And that's the point.
Face it: Fluke's gonna sell millions of these.
Now's a good time to look for used 87-V's if you live in that sort of country.

This Self Check being discussed is on Fluke 283/FC, not 87V.
283/FC will be sold because it is specialized instrument with some interesting features (like 1500V DC range, logging, limits, wireless current clamp and VA mode etc..)
I got rid of 87V because I have better instruments.

Really???
You can't see that this is Fluke's ploy to replace all those corporate 87Vs that simply refuse to die?
