When do u need a bench multimeter ?
<< < (3/8) > >>
Old Printer:
I think at one point bench meter size was needed for high end performance and features. I built a Heathkit bench DMM in the late 70's and the case was packed with components. I recently saw a UniT bench meter with the cover off. It was 95% empty space, almost everything was on the display board and a small ps near the rear. Visual marketing was the only justification for it's size, but it is probably 2x the meter my old Heathkit was.

To be able to leave the meter running 24-7 without it
A.  Turning off
B. Battery running flat

And for thermal stability if it is a very high resolution meter in a controlled environment.

You can put other things on top of it.

Maybe ... but that is not good Karma.
Bud:
