There's probably a resistor in the meter to limit current. The problem with using a capacitor without more circuitry is that it must be really big, like a...
If it swings around a lot it's probably a moving iron meter (there was a period of using hot wire meters but those are inherently very nicely damped) because...
Do you have the how-to for that? If so could you post it, I lost it some time ago and never found it again. Thanks! ... From: geo_k02 <geo_k02@...> ...

Hello again Charles OK have found out what an op amp is - local supplier has not got CA3160 but has CA3140E - 4.5 MHz slew rate 9v/us, 15v - will this suffice?...
Is there an archive with the older schematics from techlib.com??? I am in the process of working on several projects and was referring to teh web for...
... Actually - from the picture on the above web site, each transistor has its base & emitter shorted together. One of the transistors ... the left one, has...
You are right - I tried his Techlib web page to look at for the ionization detectors and Charles seems to have taken the whole techlib.com site down. I can't...
... Almost all DMMs, on a Voltage measuring range, appear at the meter input to be a 10Meg resistor. If in doubt, check the meter specifications under "input...
Good test. I would suggest snapping two 9 volt batteries together to increase the test voltage. Since Craig has done the hard work of fully explaining the...
Yes but ... With your 2x 9V batteries and 15mV: Rx= ((18v-0.015v)/.015v)*10e6 Ohms = 11.99 Gigaohms (sorry - but I couldn't *RESIST* this reply) Allen ... to...
Here's another idea to experiment with that doesn't involve as much math. This is based on Craig's and Laurie's (and Mr. Ohm's) ideas: (1) A DVM with a 10 Meg...
That's good one too. Of course you could also measure the current directly. Â Regarding the meter resistance I just tested the only consumer grade meter I...
-Checked my DMM's My Tripplet Fancy dandy true RMS with all the bells and whistles measures 10.8 megohms. My $12 "wally mart special" measures 10.2 megohms. ...
... I checked a couple of meters around here for current - one good (quality) Fluke meter could only go down to 1uA in the last digits place. Two others (less...
For a couple of weeks I've been doing battle with hackers in my server thanks to a virus backdoor. I think I've got them all out. I think. Their favorite...
The site should be back soon, maybe today. We're bringing up a new server and will redo the old one to have as a standby the next time our hacker friends...
