EEVBlog 121GW Discussion thread
J-R:
By default Welectron checks the box to include the probes when you hit the 121GW page, but you can uncheck it.
I have two 121GW units that came with shims. I removed it from both and have had zero issues. Perhaps after things wear it might be needed.

Yes, the shim was only for the first several thousand PCB's that had the wrong thickness.

I don't have control over what Welectron sell, but Kane's standard FOB quote is without probes. If the distributor wants probes then they have to order them as a separate line item.

Thx for the reply. I didn't know they aren't stock included. :)

Yeah, I thought there were some included, so I unchecked it ;D. Got myself some Fluke Probes now, maybe have to shorten the banana plugs a bit but otherwise they work fine.
Yeah, I wanted to remove them to avoid issues and found out they aren't there anymore. :)

Yeah, just received 121GW 2 days ago, and the firmware reads 2.05, no idea if that's actually from Welectron, but I ordered it directly from EEVBlog shop online. Delivered to UK by DHL courier and it originated from Australia.
Happy with this product so far. Thank you so much.

Hi, I have not read all thread trough so maybe this note will be not a new. But in my opinion AutoHold mod is slightly raw, especially in resistance measurement - it takes all my time to get value of a single res. In the same time in a basic mode I see that the value jumps in a least significant digit only. And it is very disapoint that I cant check 5% resistors over the board as fast as I have expected :P
I understand that design and consumer satisfaction it is all about trade-offs. But my vision of this process is to give user freedom to select between A) more digits, sometimes more noise and more time to get a value, and B) less digits - faster response.
We have a "1 kHz" mode which enables filter. So maybe it is reasonable to make it available for other modes?
One more. Looks that the AutoHold mode does not depends of Auto range or particular range is selected. I thought the overall time to get hold the value is a sum of the time required to find the range and the time required to ensure that the value is stable. But looks that it is not. Very strange
If required I will make a video report later.

Correct, all my units in stock are the latest 2.05. Welectron were just the first to get it.
