Reggie -

That is really dependent on two things: the power supply design and the
current you are drawing. Are you using the same power supply for both the
ts570 measurement and the k2 measurement? (Also if you have a light gauge
wire between the power supply and the k2 and are using the K2 voltage
display for your measurement you will be getting some drop across the wire.)
