Hi, time-nuts. I know some of you are volt-nuts, too. I just got a Fluke 5440B DC Calibrator, which is a lovely instrument, and the service manual on the Fluke site has parts, layout and schematic pages out of order and/or completely missing (the operating manual seems to be OK). I know this because I forgot I had a guard lead hooked up to the scope and then I connected scope ground to the isolated chassis, causing a bad smell, a couple of blown fuses, and an unknown to me (so far) failure. In troubleshooting, I discovered the sad mess of the manual Fluke provides for free download. In one of the pages that is there, in BOLD CAPS it says not to do what I did....
I checked with all the usual suspects on-line and no pdf book that I know to be good is available. There is a hard copy original available for $175, but I think that's a bit much. If any of you have one or know of one I can copy, or one in pdf, I would be *most* glad to have it.
