Fluke 867B, good or obsolete?

<< < (10/13) > >>

emanuel_nb@hotmail.com:
Maybe just to update the topic, as the other answers helped me with my decision to buy an 867B almost a year ago.
I'm using the 867B, I bought it with the battery not working, but it was for a good price so it was really worth it, unfortunately it didn't come with a charger. But I'm using 6 rechargeable AA batteries. It was really worth it, I bought it for around 400 USD I think, I compared it with another multimeter, to see if the measurements are calibrated and empirically I believe it is calibrated. I work with repair of servodrives and VFDs, very useful to test some signals using the "view" mode. I find it a little slow, but I use it as my main bench equipment to analyze electronic circuits. The component test mode is very useful, I bought the communication cable for a great price, along with some software diskettes (that's right, diskette), I downloaded the software in this post if I'm not mistaken, so I use it to collect V curves /I. I bought it precisely for this reason, as the prices of equipment like ABI are very expensive. I'm trying to purchase a Fluke scopemeter, getting the courage to buy it, as they are quite expensive, but I want to purchase the Fluke 225C, mainly through the use of "Bushealth".
Como falamos aqui no Brasil: Fluke é Fluke.

I just purchased one of these 867B meters. I thought the 289 was big but I did a 3d comparison online... The thing is going to dwarf the 289. It seems like it has the common issue of blank modes. Going to investigate solder, resistors and traces around selector switch pads.

Also there is modern software that supports many multimeters and the author added support for Fluke 867B in 2022! Check it out here: https://www.ts-software-jp.net/products/tsdmmview.html

I have a folder going with all the information from fluke including a 1996 catalog that includes the 860 series, service manuals, application notes and also the old software.
