content: Great meter, just keep an eye out for drift and don't hook it up to anything high energy.

content: The meter with the external Vref mod and thermistor/resistance in series it's stable to the last digit.It's just a matter of watch the long tome drift, of the mod.You can change the 2K (VR1) trumpet that drift 1% only from vibration, for one with 50Ohm, and get it more stable.

content: Check out this mod, for backlight and more.http://mjlorton.com/forum/index.php?topic=285.0With a MSP430G2211 and you've the code in there.See the this topic for external Vref mod,https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/ut61e-drift-and-recalibration/, and some research on the Ohm and Cap range to make it more accurate.
