Grrr. I guess I should have titled this thread "Do you trust your multimeter? - One of ten questions that you should never ask yourself. (Also on list, "Do you trust your wife?")"

What is really driving me mad is that given manufactured specification accuracy, standard deviation and calibration degradation, the displayed output could be +/- volts, however in that range is the ACTUAL voltage, and given my readings are always just about the same, it is entirely possible that I am in possession of the "atomic clock standard" of multimeters or, just as likely, a piece of crap....and I WILL NEVER KNOW. Sigh...

If anyone out there knows of something I might have around the house that has an ABSOLUTE constant known voltage, I would love to know... Would allow me to move on to one of the other 10 questions I should never ask.
