so what's wrong with the clamp? They're great devices - you can often |
| 12 |
buy a multimeter (every geek should have one :) with a current clamp (or |
| 13 |
transducer) thrown in. That way you have no wiring, no inline plugs, |
| 14 |
and you won't even have to turn the PC off to install it! |

Here's one that is just a current clamp [fluke.com.au]: |

but you can buy a normal multimeter with the option too... |

This way, it shouldn't matter what the Voltage is (240V, 120V, |
| 21 |
3.141592653589793V) you just adjust the switch on the meter. |

Some of the more expensive products have waveform capture and |
| 24 |
datalogging features too. |

This is a test of the emergency broadcast system. Had there been an |

actual emergency, then you would no longer be here. |
