Really? My Fluke 287 show me 26,2C with short circuit leads and 24,7C with connected thermocouple to the end of this leads. (Thanks for the tip IanB!) I will write Fluke and ask them to revise their literature to reflect this feature, so other people like me do not get confused. Whenever I switched my multimeter to temperature range the display would indicate "OPEn", which I assumed was shorthand for, "Hey stupid! Plug in a K-type probe!" Nowhere in the online manual (May 2004 Rev.2, 11/08) does it indicate that by shorting the leads you can get temperature reading. So if figured that they added the built-in thermometer (and maybe other features) but did not change the model number. I know that Fluke does occasionally update the multimeter, for example they fixed the mobile phone interference issue. I bought my used Fluke multimeter several years and of course it did not come with a manual. This feature is even described on Fluke's model features page. I kept hearing and reading that the Fluke 87 V had a built-in thermometer. I'm sorry but I should have explained what lead up to my question.
