This meter reads 4-20 ma without breaking the circuit. Anybody own this meter? Would appreciate any feedback thanks

It's a good tool for doing control system work. What would you like to know?

For instance would you say its pretty accurate if for say i was taking a reading from a 4 to 20 ma analog output card going to a I/P (current to pressure) And wanted to see if the valve was opening at lets say 50% when the PLC PID loop was telling it to do so. I currently use a Fluke 787 process control meter but i have to break the loop. It just seems faster and a quick troubleshooting tool.

That's pretty much what I use it for and it works great. I think you'll be pleased with it.
