34461A - you can program the Numeric Separator (comma,space,none) and decimal point symbol.

These multimeters are a bit funny that temperature is only displayed with 1 sig dig "024.9C" where's all the rest of the digits, it's just reading a thermistor.
Same for diode voltage drop, usually 3 sig digs like my 40 year old 3-1/2 digit multimeter shows. No good when comparing die temperatures.
No mho's or siemens, I've never used those. Galvani's might be useful. The frog is likely LM399 species.

I'm a little disappointed in the DMM. 
For one why such a low CAT rating especially for an EDU targeted meter.   T

Second,; the diode test seems to be extremely limited for a meter designed for 2021 with all the types of diodes that exist now.   Of course this is based on reading a manual with lots of typo's and mistakes so maybe the diode function is more robust.   The manual implies 0.8 volts for the high end.

Third; apparently no RTD functionality.   This would seemingly be a no brainer for a 5.5 digit meter with 4 wire capability.

Fourth; I'm not sure why one would offer a fixed continuity function on a bench meter.

I actually find the power supply to be more interesting if a bit expensive.   In any event here is to seeing more technical data real soon now.

How is the function gen the most expensive thing in that lineup?  :-//

Well we don't have any specifications yet, but its a big price down compared to the 33500 series. If it carries most of their capabilities then the price is excellent.

It is a nice function generator! ;) ;) ;)

As for the scope it has gotten to the point that making these is very possible with off the shelf parts.   At time I wonder why scopes are so expensive.  In a nut shell they are not much more than a very low end PC with A to D capability.

That may apply to a very basic scope.  I guess Rigol et al set the "floor" for what a workable basic scope can be made and sold for,  unless you include various handheld "phone format" devices that can be even cheaper.

Don't make the mistake of assuming that your country is the centre of the world. Comma for the decimal point is not used everywhere, it's mostly european thing. Not in the biggest places where electroncis are developed, like the US, UK, Japan, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Korea:

Didn't see this comment, sorry...

Heard of SI system of units ?

https://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/checklist.html

Writing numbers with spacing in groups of 3 is SI convention. For ease of conversion in SI units. Choice of decimal comma or decimal point for radix (decimal separator)  is optional..

#16
Digit
spacing   The digits of numerical values having more than four digits on either side of the decimal marker are separated into groups of three using a thin, fixed space counting from both the left and right of the decimal marker. Commas are not used to separate digits into groups of three.
proper:
15 739.012 53
improper:
15739.01253
15,739.012 53

You misunderstood, it wasn't discussion about choice of the decimal separator. It was really about spaces instead of commas for digit grouping. I simply stated that we comma with spaces for completeness.

I know what janks use, computers where US format only for me and many here for date, time, and numbers for years before they reached the standards for codepages that included our country.. We have same number, date and time standard sa Germany (DIN was translated and adopted as JUS in 1952, in former Jugoslavija, together with many other things) but I, and many others in my generation prefered English books, software, OS etc.. So before CP852, we all used US layout and language on all computers.
