Here is an imgur Album of my 8024A :)
Also, some quick snapshots of the 8020B, 8024A and 8060A agreeing on some mV, V and mA values.
Here are various forward voltage readings of my meters in diode test mode, figures in brackets are taken with my 8060A in series to measure testing current - except 8060A in series with 8050A:
Diode: 1N4007
8020B: 0.680 V (0.805 V, 0.8069 mA)
8024A: 0.853 V (0.975 V, 0.6367 mA)
8060A: 0.5797 V (0.6781 V, 0.9748 mA)
8050A: 0.6421 V (0.7583 V, 0.8702 mA)
79SeriesII: 0.552 V (0.607 V, 0.6041 mA)
UT139C: 0.587 V (0.683, 1.0061 mA)
HC601: 0.794 V (0.915 V, 0.6854 mA)
VC6010: 0.746 V (0.867 V, 0.7355 mA)
Can you calibrate this separately in the meters or is it just depending on the overall V / A calibration?
Pictures: ca. 190 mV, 18.8 V, 18 mA, 88.8 mA from Oltronix B703DT

Thank you so much ! I didn't even realize produced manuals like that. This will keep it going another 30 years or more :-+

:wtf:
Fuh, that is some serious spread. I think It would be a good approach to take a comparison measurement with a resistor too, and then to separate the errors of the current source and the reading.
But I do not like at all what you found.
Will do some measurements too when time allows.
helius:
They seem to be roughly proportional to the test current, which is no big surprise. For actually characterizing semiconductor junctions (and not just verifying if they are short/good/open) you need a curve tracer.
