[ARC5] More on the GOOIT

[D C _Mac_ Macdonald]

On the 200 kHz setting, you have an extremely short sampling period; on the 1 kHz setting, you have a "normal" sampling period; on the 100 Hz setting, the sampling period is 10 times longer than the 1 kHz setting. 
 
I'd say the 200 kHz is WAY to fast for the frequency being tested. 
 
The 100 Hz setting will give you a more precise reading; it should provide one more digit after the decimal point. 
 
Also, the 200 Hz setting is more appropriate for audio signals, and, in all likelihood to fast for VHF and UHF measuring. 
 
You should ignore the final digit shown because it is possibly plus or minus one integer.
