If you have the license for all 4 of these instruments, no subscription, that would be just awesome.

The existing 5.5 digit 34450A comes with the BenchVue software, so I'd expect the same here too.

So we may see more instruments in that shape. Simple stacking may not work well, but maybe with a suiteable shelf.

It only feels odd, because the 6.5+ DMMs are all designed to be rack mountable. So they all have 3U height and newer models have half rack size. I remember that scopes were designed to be rack mounted. Then around the 90s their design changed into desktop units, and nobody wants those old huge units anymore.

At first, I wasn't fan of the LCD used on the 34465A, the old 34410A was easier to read. But then I found the utility of the statistics, histogram and other functions. Getting a bigger screen would probably unlock more possibilities.

Although I have not had this confirmed, it should be indenital to this spec, or certainly no worse:

If the instrument is anything like the other DMMs, there should be a help menu. As I remember, it could show a QR code where you can download the service manual, if the link is already activated.

Like this one for example https://www.meilhaus.de/en/elneos-five-dmm.htm

That is some horrifying pretentious crap....
Datasheet it 50 pages of synergies and designer bullshit and all the crapwords, and then few lines of specifications : 2 kHz AC bandwidth, 5 ¾ digit, display range 40.000 points, meaning it is 4.5 digit meter but they straight up lie it is more than 5.5...
And it costs more than Keithley 6500 and Keysight 34460A...

The Benchvue yes. The DMM part requires a separate license, that is called "Keysight BV0001B Digital Multimeter Control & Automation Software Application". It is sold at 330 EUR including Tax.
Function gen is another 330 EUR
Power supply is another 330 EUR
Oscilloscope another 330 EUR
And these are node locked licenses. Example:
https://nl.rs-online.com/web/p/bench-power-supply-source-accessories/1362935/

I get that for a high end workbench for a test lab this is peanuts. For low end instruments, like we have here, the price/value is terrible.

Yuck. I still remember the days when I paid for hardware not software  :popcorn:
