Hey guys,

i got a quick question about adjusting drivers,

Why is it that i can use my Multimeter when adjusting Rkster's Micro Drive and have it be adjusted accurately, however adjusting DR Lava's Micro drive i require a dummy load to properly adjust it, and If i do hook it up straight to the multimeter it reads really high numbers..

thanks in advance
