How do you get them (assembly specialist) to ship to europe? Just asking?
Hi Terra-Op , I have a couple of these units - they are a sweet little unit - the printer is a bit of a headache - as all electromechanicals are I suppose, the manual on Keysights website is mostly unreadable - I have an original which I have scanned + photographed - if you need a copy PM me, it is a huge file 200M or so I recall.
If I recall the printer unit is not a lot different from some of HP others thermal printers eg in HP thermal printers for 41CV calculators eg HP 82162A - I am not sure if identical but pretty close.
Regards Rob
I have two UI nitpicks: the buttons for the 3rd channel are on the right, but the outputs are on the left side. That's confusing, and they are also not color-coded as the main channels are. And the 'Mode' button sitting so prominently between the main channel controls does not change the output mode (serial, parallel or tracking) as I would have expected, but only the display mode (showing all three channels or only 1+2). Would have been much better the other way round...
The '175 has been the mainstay at every place I've worked at for the last 20 years - I just wanted one of my own. The 1242 was one of the last from the on-line Jaycar bargain bin - got it for substantially less $ than the Fluke. Was surprised by the large test/calibration report that the 1242 came with. I like this Keysight a lot better than my old(ish) Agilent U1241A.
You know that Peaktech is just a re-badger? The device is actually an Owon ODP3063, so the SCPI commands should be identical if you can find a programming manual for that.
Edit: Prog manual and PC software here: https://www.owon.com.hk/products_owon_3-ch_output_with_2-ch_0-30v%7C6a_and_0-6v%7C3a_programmable_dc_power_supply
That is odd. The UI nitpicks I had are that (1) the outputs are not in ascending channel order (which is related to your first nitpick), (2) as a result of #1, the channel display order doesn't match the physical order, and (3) the channel label colors don't match the channel screen colors.
I bought a couple of reels of cheap 60/40 rosin core solder to replace the expensive 63/37 rosin core crap I tried and hated.
I don't get it, the cheap stuff happily works really well at 330c-360c but the Loctite (formerly Multicore) spits like crazy even at 270c and just doesn't seem to adhere like rosin core solder should.

I had a 179 and it was a very nice meter - had to sell it to cover for my U1273A, which is more suitable for what I do.
I also have the U1242C's cousin U1282A (spawned by a U1273A Keysight recall) and it is very similar in size and I was told in functionality as well. They are great meters.
