The manual is on the Fluke web site and includes calibration procedures.
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.

New subject: Commodore 128 - coding a new BBS (online chat)
For Commodore people (& anyone who wants to help with the project), we're in
the midst of thrashing out a new, modern BBS package for the C128.
We've already had one online meet, second will be this weekend :
New York (U.S.A. - New York) Saturday, July 22, 2006 at 10:00:00 PM
UTC-4 hours
Sydney (Australia - New South Wales) Sunday, July 23, 2006 at 12:00:00
Noon UTC+10 hours
Check a world time clock for other locations.
Chat will be here - http://landover.no-ip.com/128/chatbox.php
Last week there were six people involved in what ended up being a 2 hour
session. See the threads in the forum about what was covered. We'll be
expanding on last weeks topics & hopefully nailing down some features this
week.
Feel free to join us if you can help out.
Lance

Now *that* is cool. I'll have to look into it. Thank you very much.

Would it be too much to ask for you (or someone) to point me at it

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.

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?

I could deal with a French manual, but English is better for me. :)

Yes, but what I have is not an 87 Series V, just a plain vanilla 87.

That one just refers to the service manual for calibration, and
assets.fluke.com/manuals/ doesn't let me list its contents - I don't
suppose you have a pointer to the service manual? (This one is
certainly very useful; for example, it taught me about modes like
capacitance and duty cycle. But it punts on calibration.) I tried
guessing a few names, like 87______smeng0800.pdf or 87______sm0800.pdf
or 80______sm.pdf, and all I got were 404s.

Once the weekend ends I should be able to contact Fluke and find out.

There are comments about "series IV" and "series V", etc.
But, this one (above) claims to be "83, 85, 87 service"

This looks like just what I wanted. Excellent. Thank you very much.
I am surprised to see that it appears to be a scan of a paper manual,
though that probably will affect my use of it little if at all. (PDFs
I usually have to print out to be able to stand to read at any length.)

THanks for that. Looks like it applies to the Fluke 85 that I use all the
time too (yes, I'd prefer an 87, but I found this 85 at a _very_ good
price so I bought it).

Splendid. Thank you very much. At most one of those is what I'm
looking for now, but all have been stashed away against future need.
(Or will have been once the fetches complete, at least.)
