I hadn't been aware of that one yet. Its 100mv voltage may turn on any schotkey diodes a wee bit, something the 85 mv of the wizard is far less likely to do. Bookmarked, thanks a bunch. I will order me one when the 2mm wide clips are back in stock. The wizard, FWIW, gold plates all the probe stuffs to negate any resistance buildup due to oxidation, where I note in the pix that these appear to be chromed and will need more care to prevent chipping the chrome off which also has a higher bulk resistance than the gold. But I like, and at less than half the wizard, will get one. > > > Cheers, Gene Heskett > > Cheers, > Mark > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >-------- Transform Data into Opportunity. > Accelerate data analysis in your applications with > Intel Data Analytics Acceleration Library. > Click to learn more. > http://makebettercode.com/inteldaal-eval > _______________________________________________ > Emc-users mailing list > Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
