Title: Is there a kind of multimeter timeline available somewhere ?
Post by: kultakala on March 05, 2017, 06:45:49 pm

Hi Guys,
I am interested in all electronics stuff in general, like everyone here i guess.
But especially i like multimeters, to be more precise digital multimeters.
Mostly i like vinatge ones from the 60s to the 80s.

I could find some information about production years of some specific devices and i can get a clue of the first production year by looking at the copyright on user manuals. But user manuals are not available for some devioces and its not possible to get catalogues like from HP which are available online.

So, does anyone know of a site, wiki or something which shows timeline of multimeters from HP/Agilent, Keithley, Fluke, Datron, Prema, Solartron, etc. ?

Regards,
Olaf

For some of the HP DMM history, see http://hpmemoryproject.org/wb_pages/wall_b_page_14b.htm (http://hpmemoryproject.org/wb_pages/wall_b_page_14b.htm)
And also google for the relevant HP journal articles on some of the meters.
