Husband Loves It 2009-03-03

My husband wanted this for Christmas, so I got it for him. He loves it.

Not bad with some inconvenience 2009-03-01

By Aharu

Just received this device, so far works perfect, comes with nice soft plastic case, inside - device, 2 test leads, CD with serial software, serial cable and thermocouple cable, small printed instruction manual.
Few remarks on what's disappointing:
1. Battery. You have to remove 3 screws on device back and remove back side of a case to get access to the battery. Seems inconvenient. I'd prefer separate battery compartment with easy to open lid.
2.Very brief printed manual and even no .pdf on CD with detailed instructions.
3. To measure capacitance you have to insert capacitor into special socket on front panel. Seems very inconvenient.
On the other side - attractive price, full functionality, PC interface (I wonder, do I really need it?)
Question: instruction manual says: "DUAL DISPLAY". I wonder what did they mean by "dual display"?? There is a small graph bar beneath main reading area on display - is that it?

Nice DMM, but a few minor issues. 2008-04-05

By Verkinix

This is a nice DMM. One of the best I've used. Measures all the usual electrical elements as well as temperature. The auto-ranging feature is fantastic.

Things that are sub par in my opinion include the manual and the pc interface. The manual is terse, but contains some useful information. The pc interface is a serial connection which my post 1972 laptop doesnt have. So I will have to get a serial to USB converter and hope the software works correctly with this. Also, the software appears to be dated in 2003, so it could potentially be out dated, but I havent been able to test it as of yet. Either way, it could use an update geared toward newer systems.

All in all, I cant complain. The backlight works well, the DMM does what I need it to, and could potentially be PC useful.

One Nice Multimeter 2005-10-20

By T. David Mackey (College Station, TX)

Is is by far the best multimeter I have used. It has a clear display and an easy to use interface. What is really nice about it is it doesn't feel cheap. A true piece of fine craftsmanship. Another good thing about this product is its wonderful overload protection, so you never have to worry about blowing a fuse or something crazy like that. Highly recommand for any electrical engineers or hobbiest who want to have something cool to show their friends.
