Kiss analog's electrician's DMM shootout from 2 days ago.
Exactly my point. To compare meters usefully in a shootout you need to limit them to some sort of feature/usage/price category.
Electrician category is one such good example.
I've lost count of number of people that have asked me if the 121GW is suitable for an electrician and I tell them a flat out no, don't buy it.
I thought you were currently selling the 121GW. I've had a few people suggest to me that your reputation took a hit for selling such a product. I'm not sure how you recover from it. Maybe it doesn't actually have any impact.
It sells very well and countless people love their 121GW. But it's not the meter for everyone's needs, surprise, surprise.
I also sell the BM235 and BM786, neither of which I have done a review video for either.
I've limited my metrics to robustness
Bingo.
You talked about doing something like this at one point. That's one nice thing about having some standard way of testing them, you remove the bias. The meters do what they do. The down side, sponsor's like Keysight may not like seeing their products do so poorly on so many levels. [/quote]
Exactly what I've been saying. I'll repeat for the 3rd or 4th time, to compare meters usefully in a shootout you need to limit them to some sort of feature/usage/price category. You do robustness, terrific, keep at it.
Do you seriously think I give a shit what "sponsors" think? Really? I've ranted about every manufacturer in the business including showing all sorts of problems in my own products, I'm (in)famous for it.
The problem with doing these shootouts is that they are ahuge amount of work, especially if you want to set up forms of automated testing etc, and I have a dozen other different types of videos that I make. I have limited time and varied interests.
