I want to install a voltmeter in my panel to monitor my timing advance (this uses less than 2 volts). I realize that I can buy a multimeter, but I don't want to have to figure out what to do to make all the other functions go away and leave me with ONLY the voltage reading. This way I hope to be able to mount just the display somewhere on the panel (I'm running out of room) and read only voltage, which will be under 2 volts in this application. Anybody know of one, or able to steer me in the right direction? I have a couple of digital multimeters, but looking inside and seeing all the extra crap that I don't need, made me decide that there must be an easier way.

Hope this helps.

This=0A is w hat we have in the boat, permanently running as it only draws 3mA =0A(a LED is 20 mA). -Permanently connected is interesting as you can view =0Athe no load state of the battery, at any time.- --- On Fri, 15/7/11, Lynn Matteson wrote: From: Lynn Matteson Subject: JabiruEngine-List: Voltmeter advice needed list@matronics.com I'm looking for a small digital voltmeter....voltmeter ONLY, if possible.
