Fluke 867B, good or obsolete?
mos6502:
Looks like an interesting meter. Does anyone know if the graphing function works in all modes? I.e., can you graph resistance, frequency, current?
Wytnucls:
Most modes as you can see:

Here are a few pictures of the beast. Very happy with it. I don't know when the last calibration was performed, if any, but it seems to be very close to my DC volt reference.
Wytnucls:
The meter has some unusual features.
Here is one where the trend screen in Ohms mode shows glitches (>1us) as small vertical bars on the horizontal axis every time continuity is lost or goes above range threshold.
The trend timeline may be stretched up to 30 hours, with a glitch bar shown if detected in any 15 minute interval.

There are lots of unusual and useful features in the 867b.
The Auto Diode feature identifies and displays the cathode and anode leads and the Manual Diode with tone on works like the HP/Agilent/Keysight 34401 where it beeps if the forward diode drop is in range.
You can combine functions such as Touch Hold and Trend so that the meter will lock onto a fixed values while still displaying the trend.
It has three powers sources: mains adapter/changer, nicad/nimh cells (easily changed built-in pack), 6 x AA cells (built-in holder).
It's really too bad that they stopped making this meter. Overall, I like it far better than any other meter I have or have used. It was outrageously expensive back in the day but it was worth every penny.
