I can understand your response as I explained the operation of the two modes using the selector. To you it seems crazy, strange and not proper as you put it. It's just too complex for you to follow along and this makes you upset as you want something that is polished. You must realize this is work in progress and it is a hack. Rather than reacting as you have which really adds nothing to the thread, you could just wait a while and see how thing progress.
You said yourself
So it's not a real clean setup IMO.
so what the heck are you arguing about. I think I asked pretty clear questions, you are sending smokescreens instead of a clear answer. This is what I hate!
And don't start on me with that "adding to thread" crap ever again. I am not a "herd of sheep" type of person who always blats with the herd in common symphony how everything is great when it is actually not. Besides, while you may not be able to perceive that, summing up the progress (or lack of one)
is an added value…most of the folk does not enjoy reading hundreds of posts to collect crumbs of information. I did not, but it is good that I've read this through and pushed you so we now know the current status.
I must admit that yes, the dotless mode is an improvement which makes it at least semi-usable. I however fail to understand how ppl could've considered it good before when it was lacking the zeroing function. A function pretty much
essential for DCA clamp meter because of the principle of things…
BTW you have not answered my question, but I OFC know why - there is no better meter than this in terms of accuracy. I have checked ten times more expensive meters, only thing they offer are shitloads of extra functions I do have no use for. But none of them is better in terms of accuracy. It is only cheap as it does not have those functions, not because it is any bad or unsafe.
Lack of any more accurate clamp meters on the planet is also the reason I will be switching to voltmeters and precision shunts in near future which will give me as much as one order (of magnitude) more precise results…just thought it may be possible to really improve this one when I saw first couple of pages. Well, no, not yet at least.
In the first video I made, I show the difference between dotless and normal as it stands today with Hugatry's input on the calibration.
I won't be reacting to those crap statements of yours, but on the topic, what video exactly? All I found is about degauss of the clamp. If there is something which may clear up the situation, I'll gladly play that, but I see nothing.
To be honest, removing the chip seems a bit stupid. I just use the clip I have shown. Again all documented.
I always count with the worst case scenario, try that sometimes, maybe you'll find that better. I have not yet studied the full potential of my programmer, however even if I won't have to remove the chip, having everything ready right away is still better than the other way around.
