This is really a factor of the supply chain set up and managing through distributors. Know it isn't optimal, but a reality of managing different supply chain and delivery processes -- there's a different workflow depending on if ordered with instrument or as after-sale option. However, agree we can make this more clear. I'll give the message to the Product Marketing Engineer and see if we can improve the documentation/website. Mike Kawasaki (Keysight) b.t.w. Just love reading these long discussion strings. Glad to know there are lots of people with passion regarding electronics and/or test equipment. Sometimes I feel like I'm unusual that find these topics interesting, when nobody understands what I do for a living... but the EEVblog community does!! 8) --- End quote --- :-+ |

Just received my new 34465A at work. I've upgraded the firmware and played with it for half an hour. The good: It really feels like a quality unit, the display looks nice and crisp and is viewable from about every angle. Probes look and feel nice. Layout of the buttons seems easy to get used to, and the buttons feel nice. Measurements are fast and accurate. I like the bargraph, trendgraph and histrogram. Long USB cable is included. The bad: The casing looks more like an industrial device rather than an engineering measurement device. The menus are a real disaster. The grabbers for the probes look cheap and the "needle probes" are very blunt. Overall I am very pleased with with the unit. |

I agree - the included accessories are junk. The wire used is the same one hung low brand I received with some cheapies from eBay. I kinda wish they would just leave them out and I could put the few dollars towards other probes. I use my (excellent) Fluke probes. |

Just got my 34465A yesterday. Curiously, it doesn't have the big orange "sell by" sticker on the outer box as previous posters have shown. Did everyone else have such a sticker? Looks like it was manufactured and calibrated near the end of February. I would have liked to have a bit longer before the calibration certificate expires, but I guess it's not that big a deal since I'm not doing anything that requires a current cal certificate. I was a little surprised to see the calibration count was in the 70s, but then I realised that the counter increments with each step in the calibration. I still have to play around with it a bit, but so far I'm pretty happy with it. I have experienced a problem though: I left the meter for a while on the trend chart screen as it measured temperature using a Fluke type K thermocouple probe. When I cam back to it, I unplugged the probe and a USB stick that was plugged in the whole time. I then found the meter to unresponsive to any button presses - I had to hold down the power button to reboot it. I haven't been able to reproduce the problem. I've since upgraded the firmware to 2.08. Anyone else experience any freezes? |
