The Tenma 72-10495 is 3,000 count on voltage and 5,000 count on current. Generally, easy to keep under control IMHO. It's rare but possible to get a DMM out of spec. So now we talk a DMM that is calibrated. About the cheapest Brymen option might be the 9,999 count BM829s. Welectron is 125 + 58 (Euros) for the DMM + calibration. Not sure about taxes and shipping for you. The PC interface can be picked up later for some added functionality. However, to properly calibrate/adjust the Tenma, I think you will want 50,000 counts. Can you expand your budget a bit? |

(unlike the fancy $700 Keysight which is currently being killed) --- End quote --- Of all the Brymens I know, none would have survived the mechanical stress that Dave imposed on the U1282A. Are there Brymens that could survive? Perhaps as I haven't seen the BM7xx series yet on my hands. Robustness, just like quality and durability, are words with a very wide range of interpretations and angles. Don't lose sight of that in the light of Joe's tests which, although are excellent to get specific angles of these adjectives, don't capture their whole gamut. |

I've thrown DT830s down stone staircases and towed then behind canoes. Dave once took an oscilloscope on a mud run and it still worked. |

Can I get away without the calibration or calibrate it myself? Maybe building my own voltage reference? |

What do you think about that BM829s + calibration? |
