The continuity test is very wrong!

I'm sure this meter does a lot of great things, but the most important thing you need to do well with it...it doesn't. The continuity test function does not work. immediately make a sound - there is a delay. If you make intermittent contact, it may not make any noise at all. Other meters I had made noise right away and you could tell by the quality of the noise how good the connection was... Not this one. In general, the meter has a sampling rate of three samples per second, which I suspect. This is what the implementation uses to check for continuity - meaning you can wait almost a second for the sample to be taken and stabilize low enough to consider continuity. This can be time consuming when checking many connections, or even downright dangerous if you get a false negative reading and turn on the circuit based on that information.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • So far so good
