Hi, I just bought a cheap DMM (Elenco M-1000C), and I believe that the low-range current reader is broken.
The DMM has a 10A plug, which seems to work properly (it shows reasonable results in high-current circuits). However, switching to the mA plug doesn't seem to work at all. It always shows me 0mA when I'm expecting 9mA (the range is set to 20mA).
Also, when I use the 10A plug, a LED of my circuit lights up when I make the contact. It doesn't with the 20mA range.
Am I doing something wrong with the low-range current reader? I really think the DMM is not functionning properly, but I would like to know what you guys think.
