Just to draw attention to a new 1uV multimeter.
1uV DC resolution is very valuable for low burden current checking with a shunt resistor and also finding shorts on a ground plane.
The extra resolution is helpful, though not matched by the claimed accuracy.

If only Aneng could actually design for proper safety like Fluke. I cannot cost that much more surely?

Obvious comparison is Aneng AN8008 10,000 count 1uV meter for about £20.

I think I'll get one for the wrought iron screen and thunder monitoring feature.

Much cheaper on Aliexpress (33 Euros).

It has fire proof fuses.

floobydust:
I think it's got 5x20mm, haven't seen any PC board pics. 25,000 count is nice hopefully real counts and not some clever filtering to get more from a lower resolution ADC.
We still don't really know who the chip supplier is. Dreamtech just does application specific F/W I believe for Hycon?

Kleinstein:
Getting µV resolution is no more that expensive and the chips set seems to support this.
Better protection can actually add costs - this starts with the fuses, that in QTY 1 may cost $5-10 and the usual meter needs 2 of these.
The other point is additional space needed in the case and also for the switch. It can be tricky to combine good protection for a CAT 3 rating with some functions. The protection part may add some noise / drift.  High sensitivity and good protection combined is an additional challange.

It would still be nice to get a meter with good protection at a competative price, but that would be more like a different meter.
For many meters it would help a lot to have an honest CAT rating - which costs about nothing. Another point would be to add 1 spare fuse for the low current range - so one could directly see what type.

The moden chip sets tend to use sigma delta ADCs. So it is a kind of clever filtering to get the resolution. If done right there is nothing wrong with this. 25000 counts is not really challenging to get the linearity right.
