Never had any issues with it turning on unwanted components. Works fine in circuit too. A lot of folks, on both the Tek and HP/Agilent groups are using the instrument, and I kinda went with the flow and bought a kit. An hour or two in the afternoon, and it's all assembled up and ready to use. Very handy little instruments, these hand held ESR meters.
