multimeter

get something that works, and ask for your money back from digitech

Don't know if this will help, but my EXTECH LCR meter allows you to turn the Auto Power Off feature off by continuing to hold the button down when powering it on. Instead of just hitting the button, you hold it down for a second or two, and the meter beeps a second time, and shows APO OFF on the LCD display. Maybe meter will do something similar? Don't know, but it's a thought...

Good luck,

Dave

There usually is on most meters, like holding a button on power-up to switch it off. Have you read the manual? Some meters have the power-up options written on the bottom of the case.

It may seem strange but i default to handheld for utility DMM. The recommendation if you are talking about small bench meters could be very different. My current handheld is a Tek DMM 155. I do not currently have a bench top, but if i were looking i would surely check Keithley.
