Hi guys,
I am new to Fluke multimeters, but up until now, I have had no issues. However, I am trying to measure current in one of my projects, and I get some strange values. When I hook up the leads to measure mA, and connect it in series with a resistor, it gets a value that is much lower than the actual current, and then the value will fall slowly until it reads 0mA. I have verified with another multimeter that the current should read 35mA.
I performed a fuse test, and my fuse for the mA lead is reading 1KOhms. Does this very high for a fuse? My other 1A lead has a fuse reading of 0.2 Ohms. Does anyone know what may be wrong?
Thanks,
John

SOLVED: I did not realize that I had it selected to measure AC current instead of DC current :/
