Would it be too much to ask for you (or someone) to point me at it
directly? Fluke's webpages are rather seriously broken. First, they
seem to have been written by someone who doesn't understand HTML
commenting (they look as though they think <!-- begins a comment and
--> ends one, the usual busted-commenting problem), and, when I use
lynx and turn on its busted comments compatability mode, I end up at
http://ca.fluke.com/caen/support/manuals/productManuals.htm, which
seems to list the manual I want, but the "Download" link simply points
back to that same page, ending up at the same URL with a bunch of goop
tacked onto the URL, and the content is the search-for-a-product page
content.
http://assets.fluke.com/manuals/87______umeng0800.pdf
is the "user's manual". There are other manuals listed
for variants of the 87.
Of course, if you want it en francais, you'll have to look
elsewhere! ;-)
Fluke 87 "TRUE RMS MULTIMETER".
The
manual is on the Fluke web site and includes calibration
procedures. I've written to their "contact us"
address, but, given my (lack of)
success at getting webpage owners to fix their pages, I don't really
expect them to do anything but tell me it works with IE (which it may
well do for all I know) so the problem is obviously mine.
I wonder if this is true north of the border?
However, Fluke has a van that tours all the major
cities and provides
a cal check for any meter you bring in. Yearly I help a friend tote
all his toys down and have them tested - it's free! Check with your
local Fluke distributor and see if you are so blessed.
Now *that* is cool. I'll have to look into it. Thank you very much.
