You are right. My meter works, it just doesn't measure current! After
testing some fixed voltage regulators and zener diodes I have a pretty good
confidence in the voltage function of the meter.

The 4700uF cap I'm using has a ~7uA leakage current. I'm trying to account
for everything that could affect the measurements.

Maybe my measurements are too high? I don't want to think they are too high,
but maybe they are scaled badly in one direction? I still need a new meter
though... I'll start again in the morning.

Thanks Jinx!

Matthew
