    My first measurement tool was a Hioki 3200 analogue Volt-Ohm-Meter. It now rests in a black leather case on the top shelf, rarely if ever used.

     

    I started Electronics Engineer Technology college in the fall of 1979. Three weeks into the course each student was given a personal meter. The test leads have been replaced and a few batteries along the way but other than that, just the same.

     

    It has no protection circuits. If you screw up, the meter doesn’t forgive. You only get to do a voltage measurement using the resistive setting just once. A few students managed to do it in tech school. All the functions work the same as the day I received it.

     

    Funny story, someone was commenting about parallax error the other day. I indicated the first meter I had was equipped with a mirror to reduce the parallax error.

     

    When I left tech school in 1981, my first employer provided a digital Fluke 77. The meter was inspected and calibrated on a yearly basis. Working in the aviation industry all measuring equipment had to meet a calibration schedule.

     

    The test leads on the Fluke have been replaced but other than that nothing has changed. Oh, it hasn’t seen calibration since 1996 when closures and careers changes took me in another direction.

     

    I still have the two meter and surprising enough both are still working.
