[time-nuts] multimeter

[Brooke Clarke]

Hi Jim:

Fluke Brand.

It also depends on what you want to use it for.
The Fluke "V-Check", like in the model 12, adds a resistor in parallel with the voltage input.  It turns out that's a 
great thing to do, like when measuring the voltage at a lawn sprinkler valve that should be on that that shows the 
correct voltage on a high impedance meter, but shows (correctly) zero on the model 12 with V-check on.

Most of the Fluke meters have a reputation of surviving plugging them into the wall socket on Ohms mode although I 
haven't done that.
The Diode test current is regulated at 1.0 mA which I really like.

And to maintain the Time Nuts content the Fluke 87 V has a frequency meter that I have used on a number of occasions.
