[volt-nuts] Best way to measure micro Ohms

[Todd Micallef]

Dave,

It looks like IET updated the design of the instrument with better
switching. If you download the manual from the IET website, they still show
the older model.
I wonder if the newer model incorporates a front switch that enables the
pulsed mode that was added by the owner on EEVBlog? I can't tell by the
photo.
