It's autoranging, large 3 digit display, diode check, continuity tone, capacitance from 2000pF to 20 microF, and will test both PNP and NPN transistors. It also does V and A in both AC and DC but I think that's obvious. The only featues I would have liked it to have are Frequency and a temp. probe input. I have no affiliation with Acklands it's just that I've needed a DMM for a long time now and this was too good of a deal to pass up. If anybody else is interested in one then let me know, they had a case full of them. Just trying to help, james ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Sep 1999 00:49:35 EDT From: PHXSYS@xxx.com Subject: Typical ignition timing response to throttle snap? HI everyone I was wondering what effect rapid throttle movement has on ignition timing. I know that extra fuel is injected when the throttle is quickly depressed to improve throttle response. Are there any ignition timing events that occur at the same time to also improve throttle response? Do you get a little extra advance during TPS event or what?
