Re: 3457A and other meter low resistance tips?
You can never have too many meters. It's like your wife's shoes.
However, you need to pick one of the litter to send to whomever for a formal
calibration. I opt for sending them to their respective

Too funny. Well I've already got 5 meters of decent quality and I'm looking for more. It's also sad when I'm building up power supplies to get 1000v DC and 1000V AC at various frequencies to calibrate

Re: 3457A and other meter low resistance tips?
Unless all three voltmeters disagree. Then he needs n more until at
least two agree. Then again, what if more than one pair agree, but with
different values? Then I guess he needs a fifth meter

Re: 3457A and other meter low resistance tips?
A man with one voltmeter knows what the voltage is. A man with two is never
quite sure. Therefore he needs a third. :^)
Careful. This stuff is addicting.
