Selecting a Multimeter - Top 5 Multimeter Considerations

[@wbfaulk]

Manual range meters usually provide a reading faster than an autoranging meter. You're comparing your manual meter with one of the fastest autoranging multimeters available, so it's not so obvious, but autoranging meters start at their topmost range and work their way down. If you're measuring something at the last range out of 4 ranges, and each step takes the meter half a second, that makes for a slow reading. There's a reason that virtually all autoranging meters, including your Fluke 117, allow you to turn off autoranging and select a range manually.

Well that is one good point for a manual ranging meter - so I should give credit where credit is due. So definitely worth noting. However it's a very specific use case, because you have to know what range you are in ahead of time and it would need to be in the lower range to really be that much faster. It also assumes you are not going to need to change the dial for multiple measurements. So yes if you are measuring in a low range multiple times it might be noticeably faster, but that is a very specific situation. I think for most general measurements the autoranging is going to be faster because a lot of times you do not know what range you are in or the time difference will be negligible.

Once I saw Fluke - the whole intrigue is gone.
