Apologies, this might be slightly OT, but I imagine we all use a
Multi-meter a few times a month in our EMC related work.
It seems my Micronta 22-174b has given up on life, or has suffered a brain
injury at the very least. After not using the meter for about 3 weeks I
dusted it off and was double checking some wiring for a 24v servo brake,
everything went fine, there was no funny event, no smoke, no fire, not
even any brimstone, but the meter didn't read 24v on the 24v line, more
like 19v, and I notice the ohm mode reads 32ohms all the time, even when
it should be displaying open circuit.
Nothing internally seems amiss, no obviously blown traces, componenents,
no burnt smell. Board says 1992, I guess 25 years is enough, maybe it's
time to consider a new unit.
Soooo... Anyone have any recommendations for a hobbyist level meter.
