I ordered something similar for CHF 6.
Apparently it uses an AD584L which is supposed to be reasonably accurate (+- 5mV @ 10V).

According to the pictures in the comments, it's measured with a 34401A.

Let's see, I don't have it yet.
For this price you can give it a try.
It's just for fun, I only have an AN870.

I have a couple others similar to those (maybe the same one also?). They give the same printout with every one of them, no value changes. That's why I commented about the values for mine not being the same as the photo, as that's rare on aliexpress.

I don't remember who, but another member on here told me about the purple one I ordered. It's the best I've seen of these cheaper references.

I also have my doubts about these "individual" measurements.
But the AD584L is supposed to be a bit better than the "J" or "K" variants.
Should arrive next week.

Most of the ones that I bought was advertised as AD584L. 🤷

I also got a couple from Amazon and eBay.

OK, but if it does what it promises, it's good enough for my purpose (+- 5mV @10V), even if it wasn't measured individually.
That's what I meant.

Oh, I'm not arguing with you. I agree, they're generally good enough for my purposed too, but the purple one has been the best (living up to the claims etc).

Some people will obviously laugh at these references, but if they want to buy us $400 references, that would be fine with me too. 😉

The seller I got the purple ref from has these now instead: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806626314478.html

I guess they ran out of the 584Ls. I have no idea if those are any good, but he also has some other interesting ref boards for L, C, R individually.
