Jaybird's right. I think with the digital meters, the internals react quickly enough, but the LCD can't match its pace. And if you set it to hold peak, it will not indicate once the measurement falls back below that peak. Now, for analog, gotta love the Simpson multimeter. Those rock. Especially when they started putting a resettable breaker on the front (when was that, the 70's? :o ) instead of having to replace the fuse everytime you tried to check that circuit with it set to the Ohms scale! Wish I could justify the cost of one of those bad boys to compliment my digital mm. :cool:
