Buying Keysight 34461A 6.5 Digit Bench DMM - Opinions?

<< < (4/8) > >>

J-R:
Get the 34465A and get a free U1733C!  Pays for itself!

Caliaxy:
Not sure if relevant to you, but be aware that 34661A doesn’t take thermocouples of any kind.

J-R:
34465A also can measure up to 1G Ohm and adds a 1uA DC current range.  There are some other memory and speed differences.  Worth the extra money unless you just don't have it.

With most DMMs the use of thermocoules is limited, as the connector and cold junction temperature compensation don't work well. So don't expect much accuracy.
An exception is the Keithley 2110, with a proper TC connector.

Hexley:
After using a 34465A for a year or two, I added a 6500 because I needed the expansion card capability for a certain project.
The 6500 is nice for some specialty tasks, particularly data acquisition; but I found that the UI of the 6500 did not suit my operating habits.
So for day-to-day use, I reach for the Keysight.
YMMV.
