I trust my old 20Kohm/v AVO-8 for this kind of thing more than my fancy

It's a bit big for simple volt measurements like this, though. Pretty well
any analogue meter will do - or simply fit a shunt to the Fluke. My Model
8 stays on the shelf these days - too expensive for general use outside
the workshop.

For general 'are there volts present and how many' type uses, this is my
device of choice:-

It avoids having a high input impedance where it's not needed.
