    Here’s another one I stumbled on last night. These people sell ignition components for motorcycles…..and they sell a meter/DVA Adapter for $58.00. Anyone here familiar with them?

    One thing I notice with these “cheap” adapters….is that the meter does not “remember” the peak reading. You have to be looking at the meter during cranking and observe the highest value….because it immediately begins to drop when cranking ends and the capacitor inside the adapter begins its discharge. I wonder if the “real” DVA meters like a Fluke with the MIN/MAX switch is different in that respect? Maybe it holds the high reading for viewing “after the event?
