    I got a rapid electronics one, with a bar graph (just incase you forget how to read numbers), its auto rangeing which saves so much time.

    actually.. that bargraph is iseful for something else... you kow.. if yo want to measure voltages that vary a lot... then the numbers might not be fast enough to measure everything... but the bargraph is way faster... :geek: :hehe:
