I need a truly fast and accurate voltage meter, ideas?

[The Architect]

the title says it all, the voltage meters off ebay suck and i dont want a cap in my system so im left in need of a fast meter thats accurate.

hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

at this point cost isnt much of a factor but nothing ridiculous

get your hands on a decent quality analog meter... they show quick fluctuations much better than digital. Digitals take short little pictures of what the voltage looks like... where as the analog is a constant stream, no stops, no gaps.

The downside to the analog is that you kinda have to guess at what the values are that you see. was that 14.2 or 14.5? who knows... they are great for showing if there is fluctuations tho.

Go with a 269.

My daily digitals are a Fluke 77 for basic stuff and a 87 for everything else. I'm going to pick up a Fluke 189 here soon, they are pretty sweet.

Simpson is best analog, Fluke is best digital.. Wavelink is fluke with a different name and MUCH cheaper...
