Good news
Ours is due tomorrow
Best,
Seems the SDM3065X was factory calibrated 2/2020

You definitely don't have enough test gear.
Seems the SDM3065X was factory calibrated 2/2020Right when the world ground to snails pace and shipping took so much longer and port clearance too.
How it ages against your references will be interesting if you can take the trouble to make a few notes following it.
Drop me mail about adjustments if you think you need it.

Not nearly enough for what I'm doing
Need to monitor and display 128 analog channels from the device we are developing, which can produce up to +-75V independent outputs with 15 bit precision. It's like a HV 15 bit 128 output AWG, the outputs must be perfectly balanced in that if one phase is +68.657 volts, the next phase must be -68.657 volts within a couple millivolts as the output waveform bi-phase toggles back and forth. The slew rates must also match to this level. The waveforms are created from high resolution DACs, then bi-phase modulated and amplified up to the +-75V levels.
Needed variable supplies that's precise and stable, and with low noise voltages outputs with precise low level current limits. Selected 3 of SPD3303X. These produce +-7V, +-60V, +5V, +3.3V, another supply provides +5.5V and two precison voltage reference sources provide 2.500V and 0~10V variable. If we need the supplies for the higher ranges then a couple switch mode 120V supplies are used, but these produce some switching noise which masks getting very accurate measurements, so only used when the highest output voltage are required. The SPD3303X are very quiet and stable supplies, really like them
A custom low noise SMPS design is underway to supply all the required voltages. Eventually this may lead to a custom chip design.
Thinking about displaying 16 channels simultaneously, could use ADC and such, but would need 16 input stages (they need to be very low capacitance, like one gets with a quality scope probe), high impedance, variable voltage ranges, and such. 8 Channels scopes seem expensive, so maybe using 4 4 channel DSOs synched up, but that's down the road some, no time for this now.
Anyway, the SDM3065X seems stable at 80uv high on 10V compared to the other DMMs.
SD is showing 2uv for 35K samples
Now back to design work
Best,
If there will be drift on meter, first 3 months will be the most, than after 6 months it will settle to tempco level variations and hard to keep track of.....
Receive a package today, it seems like they ship old stock.

I know I am splitting hairs here but time is time! Right now will keep it boxed up!
Right now I am disappointed.. my thoughts have been confirmed!
Really want to open it but have to hold off! More info soon!
Maybe Tonight, Tomorrow, Next Week / Month? I will fill ya in just waiting for the conclusion!
So Why is it that this 3065X agree's with the PSU, Fluke, and DC Load and the other one did not? This one seems to be stable also after a few hours will keep it on for (week) 168 hours and recheck.
David is very reasonable person and listens to logic. If you ever need assistance from Siglent talk to David. Scott in my opinion need a lesson big in customer service (pink slip type) I have other words I could use but will not express them publicly.
Yea, for-sure something was not working right with that other unit.
The mathematical dribble Scott spewed trying to justify the error.
It would be nice to know why Serial # SDM36GBQ4R0577 was that far off and drifted with time. I was going to post the SN earlier then deleted. I figure the SN should be public just in case it's resold as a factory second / refurbished unit and someone has the same issues with it they may find this post.
Quickly? that is subjective.. It Seemed like forever!
My fluke is a Fricken reliable tank very few issue the last 20 years. It sat in a drawer for a good 12-13years being used off and on while I ventured in my Aviation Career traveling this planet solo never knowing what county I would end up in next!
I plan on grabbing a Fluke 287 soon and pass this 187 down to the kid I's sure it's got another decade of life left in it.
I will put it thru its paces.. I got a few Venkel Engineering sample kits with hundreds of values of caps and resistors. So far this dmm seems faster at resolving the values!
