Take a look at the specs. They most certainly
do change, depending on the scale you are using.
Read the Fluke app note Understanding DMM Specifications.
Noise becomes a significant factor at the low end of a
range within the meter, and in general when measuring very
small voltage or current. And the specs, regardless of
noise, vary from range to range.


This is why when I use a meter to measure current, I use very short,
huge gauge 14Ga SPC leads. When I measure low voltages, I twist the
meter leads together to cancel any local "injection" sources.

Trust me, both methods have a positive effect. Typical meter leads
are very small ga, and are a poor choice for current measure as there
is an error introduced by the lead resistances. Twisted meter leads
most certainly do cancel out local disturbances that could render your
readings in error. Both practices work well.
