yes just getting my head round it, not done a great deal of testing. curious about the odd thing like on continuity next to the f2 button there is Rx1/2 and as you scroll through take you to x5 is this only for rcd or does it have relevance to the continuity test
cheers

As said read the manual

I am but just confused by the extended document mode is this just for up loading from memory or does it have relevance to the test

Best thing to do is have add play with it on your own house. We have a fluke and a megger I'd say the megger is better but the fluke is Ok. It's not as hard as it looks to use when you've used it a couple of times you will get used to it.

Can't correct last post for some reason I mean have a play not add a play

Cheer onions, just playing with it the hard thing is at college and training centres most use megger,which do seem simpler to use will get the hand of it just still curious to original question though

Rcd not continuity

I have one of these, I got that one as it did the lot, I thought I wouldn't need phase rotation but have used it twice, plus it does Ra etc, it's really good, very easy to use, I can't recommend it enough. I've never used anything else so am probably biased, but I think it's great. I wouldn't bother with any software, I can't seem to find any need to have it.

Once you get your head around it, it's very easy and straight forward to use.
