Used the meter all of yesterday. There are a lot of features in each setting of the dial. It can take a few button presses to get what you want. This would normally be something that would bother me but with them storing the settings, it really enhances the meter. It's almost like you can customize how you use the meter. I really like the interface.
So what's the downside IMO?
Hold, what's the point? Rec works good. I like that you can scroll through the settings. It's not the fastest. Using a 10Vp-p 1Hz pulse with a 30% DC (300ms) is not long enough to get the meter to detect the peak. However, then there is Crest! They spec it at 1ms but my meter can detect the peak on a 840us pulse. Down side, you can't see what the input signal is doing. The second display and bar graph won't help. All you can do it turn off Crest and loose your data. Why it does not scroll like Rec to see the input, I assume is because it is so fast. Then again, I do own a scope. I attached a picture of it in Crest mode.
nS, Ok, so I like it can read the resistance of my high voltage probe accurately. My old HP34401A can't even do this. But, IMO it's like having a meter than can't do AC+DC. Yea, you can carry a calculator to do the math but why would you? Just give me the option to show the resistance.
Where's the second temperature probe? However, I am not a fan of these molded things anyway. The nice thing is the adapters for the standard K type from Extech appear to work fine with it.
I don't care for the probes. Their quality looks good. Gold plated. They are just dull. Not a big deal as I normally would use my own.
I checked the continuity function against my other handhelds. Data is attached. I did go ahead an measure the pulse width until it stopped clicking.
Like others have mentioned, would be nice to have a cover for the fuses but really, sure beats having to pull the circuit board out like the 87V.
