ANENG goes crazy with new meters

2. There's a picture showing what looks like a white LED under diode test showing a forward voltage of 2.523V

Aha! So it does at least 2.5V!

That's the one I'd get... but I'm fighting back the GAS.  I just got an Aneng 870 (last week!) and I already had a Micsig earlier this month.

Gandalf_Sr:
Hmmm, I didn't see the SZ18 before you guys mentioned it but I just ran a side-by-side comparison on the specs and they appear to be identical.  Both Banggood pages (for the Q10 and SZ18) say in the spec table that they take 3 x AA but then, further down in the graphics, they both say 3 x AAA - I guess we'll find out soon.

Obviously the SZ18 has the color variants in the legend around the rotary selector dial but I can't see any other differences?  I prefer the color scheme on the Q10, at least you can more easily see what the default function is with the de facto standard that the orange/yellow functions are auxillary.

Oh and I checked, yes they both have an LED flashlight.

[EDIT] The SZ18 is $1 more on Banggood but they charge $6.34 shipping for the SZ18 vs $4.02 for the Q10 so the Q10 works out $1.32 cheaper.  Also there are reviews for the SZ18 but none for the Q10 so it looks like the Q10 is a newer model (just guessing here).

Yes, they seem identical.  :-//

Looking at the dimensions I'd put my money on 3xAAA. I don't think that 3xAA will fit.

Battery life will probably be a weak point with AAA and that always-on screen.

Gandalf_Sr:
Hi Fungus :D

I found the SZ18 user manual here.  It says 3 x AAA so I think you're right.  Also, the manual says that diode test goes up to 3.0V which I know you were interested in.

There is a good reason for it, I've used it in the past. So you have a large prototype boards, lots of testpoints, and you are supposed to verify that all the resistors are good on it. There was an excel sheet, with the testpoints listed on it, and I've just used a Keysight 1242 with it's bluetooth connected to the laptop, and connected to excel. So I read the testpoints to be a measured, found them on the board, placed the probes, touch-hold, and it beep-booped the data into excel. Quite convenient, the test was done in minutes, instead of writing anything down by hand.
And this required an enormous amount of software work on their side, including makros for excel. And this is something that a chinese company will not understand why you would need it. They just place bluetooth, because other have it, and completely won't do the research on how you actually use it.
