To amplify Chuck's point, The only meter worth considering, if you are going to get one, is the FLUKE 845. Preferably, the battery operated version which has a higher isolation leakage resistance. However, the 110 volt rack mount model would do just as equally. BillWB6BNQ

Mitch, Quite the contrary. The 10 volt output is the master output and therefore the most stable. The others are derived from dividers and thus add additional error terms due to the tempco of the divider string and any possible loading presented to those outputs. BillWB6BNQ Mitch Van
