Measuring the trigger voltage requires a voltmeter with a high input impedance.

Generally a modern digital voltmeter will be better than an old analogue (moving needle) type. In addition, the impedance of the voltmeter will be greater (which is good) on the higher voltage range (say 500 volts DC), and usually significantly lower (which is bad) on a low voltage range (say 10 volts DC).

See this page for more information: http://www.botzilla.com/photo/g1strobe.html

There's also the issue of polarity. I really don't know whether this is significant or not, but the page linked above suggests it night be.

Still, that's all history now, but as the damage has already happened.

Peter
