[Boatanchors] Voltage Calibration with 1000 ohm/volt vs 20000ohm/volt meters ?

[Brian Clarke]

Hi Mike,

There is no clear answer. In general, the reading on your Simpson 
may be higher than on the 1 k Ohm/V - but it depends on:

1. the impedance of the circuit you are measuring, and
2. the calibration of the two meters.

I want to calibrate my TV7-U tester and want to know
how much of a differance in voltage reading would I
get using a 1000 ohm/volt mster (called for and dont
have) vs a simson 260 @ 20000 ohm/volt meter.
