So, Crazy Jim, you don't use Hertz because he was a foreigner yet you
use a French unit symbol for temperature (Kelvin) instead of the unit
k (to represent kilo / thousand) when you could have just put three
zeros on yer number, using a capital K when it should be a lower but
can't put a capital at the beginning of a sentence.

Or maybe Kc/s are a measure of frequency drift with temperature you
invented?

sorry didn't get any of that because you are ignoring me on FMFs advice

Yes I remember the old Sinclair multimeter, very good for its time, but
accurate? Well I guess the problemm is that it samples a voltage and that
can have errors, add that tho the number of digits and you have well an
approximate reading. Probably no better than an analogue meter, but you can
in fact calibrate an analogue meter, given the standards required.
I wish I'd bought thhat Tandy talking multimeter when it came out, It would
have been useful for me now!

I bet more people get caught out by assuming that last digit in a digital
display means that the measuring equipment is accurate to that resolution
or not understanding that (+/-1%. +2) may mean an inaccuracy in
measurement of 10%, or more, in what they are trying to measure.

This is assuming that the £5 multimeter from China was even checked for
correct reading in the first place.

I had to Google it, but used the term 'zanzibar effect calibration'
with no quotes. Perhaps your driving skills do need honing ;)

OK for me, but perhaps the fact that people are now searching is an
example of the Zanzibar effect !!

I used the term on day one of the OP and it's unlikely that there are
enough followers of this thread to influence the engine.

Dunno about the personalisation, unless they are able to achieve it
