Meter is back, arrived in a beautiful padded box that would take almost any sized meter as the foam padding was stuck to the walls and floor of the box was nicely dimpled and shaped so that you could wedge a meter into it and it would be protected, almost like being a baby inside a womb
Did I just write that
Well I thought that maybe the short on the power to the cmos ram might have taken out the diode when the short occurred, nope thats all fine and so I checked the supplies, horror
it looked like the analogue side was not getting its power, digital side was perfect
. Then it dawned on me that it might have its own ground, isolated from the digital and bingo, it has and all voltages are correct
.
So the question is, did they know how to calibrate this after all? So now I'm going to try and see what I can do with it, more later if penis fingers can keep away this time
EDIT:
Just noticed that cal selector switch is not in the correct position, could it be...surely not,,,surely they must of noticed it???
EDIT:
On switching on it displays "UNCALIBRATED" but connecting it upto my AD584-M it reads DC voltages to correctly as per post #11003 so thats strange.
