Hello all,
I am looking at buying a used Fluke multimeter (either an 8060A or a
77-III) from a local guy and I'm looking for simple tests I can do on
each meter. Neither meter has a current calibration so I certainly
don't expect the either to be perfect. I may send it off for a proper
calibration after buying it, but at this point I'd just like to test
that the meters are fully functional. I have a regulated dc supply, a
new carbon-zinc battery and some 0.02% resistors (1,100,10K) that I
could bring for basic circuit tests. If the dc voltage, dc current and
resistance all checkout ok, can I assume the AC functions are ok?
Beyond obvious signs of damage, Is there anything in particular I
should look out for?
Thanks,
Jamie
