Thank you for that information Tom.

I have received a fair bit of negative push back regarding my YouTube videos showing the use of alligator clip leads for testing discrete components. My latest video (link shared at the opening of this thread) shows an experiment I did to see what the difference was between a test fixture and alligator leads.

I agree with you regarding maintaining the same physical parameters with the alligator leads as during calibration. My conclusion in a nutshell was that the test fixture was easier to maintain consistency due to the nature of having things solidly mounted in place on a PCB. It is a better way to do it.. however.. clip leads do work very well. My impression was that it basically boils down to what a person wishes to do with the results and what kind of accuracy or repeatability one requires.

Gregg
