Hi--

>I don't find "doughnuts" in my meter.

Hmmm, I found 'em in three 8008s's, and the first poster who objected to my
finding found it, also.....

Did you have the bulb against a dark background, and were you far enough away so that the bulb would fit inside the spot circle area (be aware
that the indicator circles are not always correct for the meter center location and area, so move the bulb around a bit in the areas).

More like a "null"....

So would I.....
