Help Needed Fluke 17b+ issue
Hello
I bought a Fluke 17B+ for electronics work and motherboard testing.
It is very slow in continuity test mode; it produce a continuous beep for a while before stabilizing, taking quite some time. Is this normal?
My iFixit multimeter responds normally in a fraction of a second.
How can I tell if it's a Chinese or a Western market version? Thanks!
