ANENG goes crazy with new meters
floobydust:
This venerable chipset, the only one in town... H08A seems to be an 8-bit 4MHz 256B RAM 8051 knockoff so don't expect a speed demon.
The N8 32-bit MCU's with touch are 20MHz used in blood pressure, kitchen scales and maybe the newer breed?
Here's the expired '89 Actron patent being copied for their rotary switch, complete with detent steel balls; not a problem (flying off the bench) if you magnetize them.
Fluke 77 patent on their one-piece, 4 pole moulded detent mechanism is gorgeous. Back from the days when people innovated instead of copying. Really nice.

Pretty cool, thanks for sharing. The drawings are the exact blueprint that Mastech used in several of their meters, including the all-time champ of knockoffs M830B.

Yes... Unfortunately innovation costs money. Although the newer design incorporated in the Fluke 87 and 170 series is an improvement.

Remote monitoring. In an industrial environment, when the energies get really high, some times it is good to park yourself some distance from whatever you are trying to monitor. While sometimes over blown by safety departments, Arc Flash is a very real and very dangerous possibility.
Even though most of the machinery I work on is not in the really high energy categories, I'm still required to take the same old arc flash training on a regular schedule. Most of that training involves videos of people getting blown up and burnt over most of their body. Not pretty at all so I can understand how guys that do such work a lot might find use for remote monitoring from time to time.

Not that these would likely work in a high EMI environment... I thought this pic explains the usefulness, despite having no logging ability. pic from Mooshimeter product.
We could use an open-source standard for Bluetooth wireless multimeters, instead of waiting for every vendor to finish their app.

Hmmm, my Banggood order for my Aneng Q10 appears stuck (as orders from China so often do). Checking with various tracking services shows that the carrier has not yet received the package - nothing has changed for 11 days...
