Multimeter spreadsheet (60 brand names and over 300 meters listed)

[dijkmane]

well, sorry for that.

but i saw a lot of people asking for updates en giving relevant information and no response from the original author.
thats why i found it ok to let other people update the list.

off course its your hard work and you deserve the credits.!

we'll have to be patient for now

If anybody wants an unprotected version of the files for their personal use, become an EEVBlog supporter, and I'll forward the files upon request by email.

It looks like the ABCs if DMMs link is outdated. Looks like it was referring to this, so here is an updated link: https://dam-assets.fluke.com/s3fs-public/1260898_0000_ENG_P_W.PDF

Really appreciate the effort that you have taken to write this kind of comparison.

[Wytnucls]

All links have been updated
Thanks for the heads up.

Are the Eevblog meters missing from the list or i'm just blind?!?

Shouldn't Fluke 87, 87III, 87V and 185 have the shade of their counts set to amber?

[Wytnucls]

No. Only to acknowledge that a HiRes mode is available.

Update for spreadsheet
Keithley 196 which I recently acquired has ZBXO math functions .   The meter table shows it has nothing . This is a true sleeper meter in my opinion.  LED display is awesome.  Takes 2 hours to stabilize to full specs per manual. Current and ACV is 5.5 digits max (which is  not typical for 6.5 digit meters) but has excellent  low current ranges 300uA , 3mA,  30mA, 300mA, 3A!
Also has ohms compensation which is not common . Too bad it has no statistical functions as it would be perfect. Also can be  front panel calibrated and  saves to EEPROM . Each range can be re calibrated separately.   

The  HP  3457A has MAND  not MND .  Average (Actually called MEAN on the HP) displays  8 digits and exponent  not sure how many samples can be used but have used recently with 41.3k samples when i stopped the stats function.

Thanks for the heads-up. Will update the sheet at the next revision.

Awesome list that i reference a lot.  Thanks for maintaining it.

[Chris Roubis]

Dam that's a comprehensive list of meters.
Very informative.

Wow. This was exactly what i am looking for. Thank you for your great job.
Are there already plans when you will realease the next update? (e.g. product names of Gossen Metrawatt MMs habe changed).

[Wytnucls]

Update coming up shortly. Don't expect many changes. There have been very few new meters since the last upload.
Gossen meters new nomenclature will be updated and the amazing S IM Xtra will be included.

Here are the latest multimeter spreadsheets:

Wytnucls, thank you for this excellent and long awaited update.

A few remarks:
The UT61E goes up to 220mF and 200M\$\Omega\$

Below follows one additional meter that is 6200 counts.

Read the column notes at the top of the chart.
If the accuracy is 3% and above, or if there is no accuracy quoted in the manual, the range is disregarded in the database.
There is a note in the cell for the 61E mentioning the top range and its accuracy.

It seems that a new cheap and nasty meter comes out of China every week.
This T21-D from NJTY is no exception.
I will include it in the next update for the sake of completeness.

About counts: I realized that the Fluke 289 is 55000 counts.  I know that is declared 50000 everywhere, but it's measuring 5.5000V.  Some explanation?

Some multimeters list a slightly lower count than they have, you can see the real counts here: https://lygte-info.dk/info/DMMReviews.html

I have put together a powerpoint presentation about the testing required for a multimeter to conform to the present regulations in the US and Europe.
It is based on multimeter regulations abstracts and Intertek testing documents.
Should you have relevant information that contradicts some aspects of the presentation, please post it here and modifications will be considered.

(Powerpoint slides have been saved as a PDF document because of upload restrictions)
