[Test-Equipment] Fluke 8000A

[J M Noeding]

Had a similar problem with 8020B after trying to measure the =
booster-voltage in my TV-set, the input protection varistor were =
conducting and it couldn't 'see' resistor values above 200k.=20
Although it is not exactly the same problem, I would still check the =
input protection. Believe 8000 was made before varistors?
