Ah, I opened my old Fluke spreadsheet called Fluke_9XXX Series 
Status.xls (on TTL) and it shows TWO different 9010s with GFI, one has 
model 9010/GF called 9010/9005 GFI FEATURE, and another 9010/GF2 called 
9010/9005 GFI2 FEATURE.

So it appears there are two versions of the GFI feature for you to 
figure out. I checked my remaining stock of 9010s to see if any claim 
that feature...nope, none of my 6 9010As have that option.
