So I've read Tangent's article about DMMs, counts, etc. And I've seen the thread about using a bridge. Why don't we just directly apply V1/V2 = R1/R2 to get the ratio of resistances? Looking at the specs for the Fluke 287, for example, seems to show that it has better accuracy for voltage...

Is this isolated? If this is not isolated, how do I tell? http://www.mouser.com/catalog/specsheets/KC-301092.pdf

My Radio Shack fails at life and doesn't stock protoboard (aka "Multipurpose PC Board with 417 Holes" as they call it). Is there a good online option for finding something for this purpose (preferably that won't kill the price of a $2 part with stupid-high per-unit shipping), or should I just...

Physics student, been through Horowitz in a formal setting. Haven't soldered in...ages...and that was mostly non-electrical. I like to fiddle with stuff and build thingamabobs, so I figure it would be nifty to take a step into the depths of DIY (as if my wallet isn't already in enough danger!)...
