Meter damping

[Matthew S. Padden]

Hi..

    Does anyone know how to achieve the moving-coil meter damping trick as seen in many multimeters? Such that, when the meter is off, something is connected across the meter to greatly restrict its tendency to swing wildly about when the meter is carried or moved. I seem to remember something about 'high value resistors' being placed across the meter, but that doesn't seem to have any effect. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
