mA measurements above 10mA

Need to be able to display 2 decimal places upto at least 22mA for use on instrumentation that works on the industry wide 0/4 - 20mA output standard, currently the meter only does this below 10mA and then switches to 0 decimal places making it useless for this in real world applications.

  Hello Lee,

  When we were designing Pokit Pro the use of 0-20mA industrial sensors wasn't identified as a use case.
  The design engineers at Pokit have backgrounds in electronics and power design.
  None of us have worked in industrial control and have never come across this type of sensors before (so weren't aware of this at the time).

  We are now aware of this use case and will keep it in mind going forward on future products.
  We will also look into there are any software tricks we can look at in order to add more precision in this area on Pokit Pro but we may end up limited by the hardware.

  I would also like to be updated on this as well, The product is awesome, but limited. I cannot recommend it to anybody else yet. But I would like to in the future. This issue is going to severely limit your user base as all industrial, automotive, and oil and gas depend on 4 to 22ma sensors that need to be diagnosed. You can contact me directly via email.
