Agreed. “A”liexpress-grade. ;) ;) ;) |

I'm missing a - probably even pretty cheap/simple - Logic Analyzer in the list... Number of ports, sample rate and voltage range according your needs. But I'd highly recommend devices with Sigrok support. |

unlees the @OP get an analyzer with a scope loll well wanting to build a shop and cutting corners at 1st, means no seriousness luckily there is/was better suggestions given out there 5K$ doesn't bring you lots of good stuff nowadays, under 10K$ you're not totally serious Take scopes who are hackables, same for sig gens, buy a good iron to have peace of mind at 1st, yeah tips are @%%# desolder gun mmm old high power hakko series where good, for thick pcb's and dont cut corner there, you'll get what i mean I'm not sold to Hakko, but got good tools from them, solder iron, smd desolder tweezers, hot air tools Siglent scope hacked, hf Siglent gen hacked, uhf Siglent sig gen hacked ........ saved over 2.5k in unlocking options, Siglent Spectrum analyzer ... and that's well over 10K just for Siglent stuff A picoscope for a mere 3400$ usd outch this one hurt i do have an Rigol scope hac... and Rigol Spectrum too, but they became second pretty fast, because of lack of simple to use software(s) for pc interfaces, and a big lack of labview mathlab etc ... i'm already over 25K $$ aaaaaaaaaand the job bought an used 7254b for the UHF experiments, but already at limits, we bought this ##%#% of 7404 to push the envelope further away loll to be controlled by pc Even some china gimmick like 3x Juntek jds-2900 40Mhz sig gens, simple and efficient, pc controllable Chat GPT was kind enough to slightly rework the code for a self developped software piece, not impacting Excel (keyboard macros etc ..) when these 2 runs at the same time for the juntek sig gens lol EDIT I do use some usb microscopes with an integrated 7" lcd on a tripod, really good definition and light for 70$ usd loll even one usb at 200x i run every where on a pcb for 30$ enough precision at 640x480 loll |

Have some self respect. Get a Brymen. At least a BM235. --- End quote --- It's a low-current AC+DC clamp meter, I doubt the Brymen BM235 will do jack in that regard..the UT210E is still a very good choice if you looking for a low-cost 1mA res DC clamp meter. UT210E is quite decent in the low DC amp, not least with the price in mind to around 30 to 35 bucks delivered. - HKJs review https://lygte-info.dk/review/DMMUNI-TUT210E%20UK.html As a general multimeter.. a clamp meter is far from ideal, but since OP highlights a low-current AC+DC clamp meter, I would guess the specific low-current DC clamp ability is important to OP - as otherwise, you would not pursue a clamp meter that lacks fundamental features (freq/hz etc) as your DMM. --- End quote --- --- End quote --- Dave looked into stocking up in low-cost Brymen AC&DC clamp meters' as Brymen could offer them at a very attractive price, but I don't think he followed through? - as viewers posted' it would be a hard sell versus these cheaper Chinese versions with overall better low-amp DC tolerances/performance - to a fraction of the cost https://tinyurl.com/yckasaw8 - also took a one-to-one look https://tinyurl.com/mr3naaf3 |
