Hint: burden voltage You'll need a specialist device to measure current going into low power devices in order to measure the current peaks correctly. |

If real low that Joulescope would be the way to go. |

Is there any way you can try a bench meter for a while? I have an Owon XDM2041 but guess what: I use my handheld meters more often, just a tad more flexibility. Did you have a look at Aneng AN999S? Very compact, needs 5.3 inches of depth and gives you music. ;D |

I don't think i want bench DMM which costs about the same a Brymen. --- End quote --- You know that is like saying you prefer to use a bicycle because if you'd buy a car, you'd buy a Ferrari sports car (which actually isn't practicle for daily use). >:D --- End quote --- Not what I said. For the money that about the price of the Brymen meter I would choose the Brymen not a bench meter. So yes I would choose the bicycle rather than a car that cost the same as the bicycle. But typical car price isn't the same as a bicycle nor a a typical bench meter is the same as the handheld meter. For the money of the Brymen which I assume less than $400 I don't think one can buy an new decent bench meter for that. I don't think the OP meant to get a used one. Yes a Brymen in that price is a very good meter. |
