Did Dave ever review the U1253B?

[king.oslo]

Hello,

I am interested in the U1252B. In the U1253A review, he promissed a review of the U1253B. It'd be interesting to learn what the changes are. Did he ever carry it out? I could not find it on the episodes list, but perhaps it is included in another episode?

Thanks M

Agilent never followed through and sent me one.
So, no review, sorry.

Dave.

No worries Dave. I take it as a hint from Agilent that they do not want to sell Or perhaps they realised they have work to do  on the B model too M

What about the Agilent U1733C - IET DE-5000 comparison/review? Patiently waiting

I do not mean to subtract from the importance of your request. I just came to think of something funny:

I bought an U1733C. IET told me in an email that the designers of the DE5000 left out the shielding and input protection by accident. I have the email, I can post it if you think it sounds interesting

Marius,

Since I own the DE-5000 I would be very interested.
Thanks,  Robin

Robin, I agree It'd be good to test the weaknesses of both. Are you happy with yours so far?M

These are the emails. I was surprised to learn that shielding and input protection could be an oversight:

Marius

Oversights.
However, to my knowledge no units have come back blown.
The units performance, even without shielding, holds up to some of our bench top instruments.

Where are you located?

Dear Benjamin,

I think you are right. However, I am concerned with the lack of input protection and shielding. If you are able to tell me a bit about the decisions which justify leaving them out, perhaps I'll need a quote.

Hope you can find the time to do that.

Kind regards,
Marius

Dear Marius

Thanks for the email.  I guess if Dave doesn't hate it it says something about the meter.
We would be happy to quote on on the DE-5000.  Where are you located?

Thanks,  I love mine.  I have nothing to compare it to but it is very repeatable and settles very fast.  works especially well on low resistances (ESR mode) because the ac excitation removes thermal emf errors and it has 1 miliohm resolution in that mode. I sorted a ton of capacitors and resitors I had and it worked extremly well.

Good stuff man. We will have to wait and see if Dave will teach us how they compare M
