Yeah, again, it could be 'assumed' that highest scale is on the low current pin on DMM's, which if the DMM is scaled AND has higher value probe inputs then the input probe has to be 'moved' to the highest input pin. Since digital meters now also have multiple pin taps, you have to adjust your process (of the basic highest range first) to using the highest input pin as well.
This ole dog still learns a few tips (which seems basic enough BUT sometimes I get lost in translations and new/different equipment). So use the highest input pin plus the highest range to start out with. Thanks PG, for keeping me on my toes!
