In addition to the compatibility reasons others have mentioned, it also protects the input circuits against random elctrostatic fluctuations if nothing is attached, and it delays things just long enough that if you attach +100V, it doesn't have to wait for a relay to kick in before autorange can work. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [email protected] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ volt-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/volt-nuts and follow the instructions there.
