Dr. Frank:
I'd like to forward the information, that FW 2.14 should be posted and available by tomorrow, May 5th. This includes fix of continuity tone on the 34460A/34461A, and accuracy issues following ACAL.

That's good news - I don't suppose you know why there has been a hold up with it?

They email me the software entitlement certificate. I had to login and download the lic file, copy it over to an USB stick and install it on the meter.

When did you buy your instrument?

I submitted my purchase of the 34465A in early 2015 (time to get it calibrated) but never heard anything back when I submitted it for the memory upgrade - it was worth checking at least.  I assume it didn't qualify.  Looking to buy the fast digitizer upgrade and it would be a lot more useful with the memory upgrade also, but I don't think I'd buy both.  (Ill just make do with the Keithley 2001 in that case, even though it's a bit more limited.)  Also asked for a quote for the digitizer upgrade (3446DIG) to see if they'll include the memory upgrade with it...

Hello everyone! Was about to pick up the 34465A (I had contacted Keysight in May for the pricing of the options) and just a week later (on the 1st of June) price increase >,<!

Seems that all Keysight products have increased in price (including licenses) by around 5-10% from 2016-06-01 onwards. Eep. Anyone else notice this? Wondering if this is an international thing.

Also, how many of you purchase your units with the five year warranty option? I know it's not that much, but considering how reliable HP/Agilent DMM's have been is it safe to just stick with the standard three year warranty?
Keysight DanielBogdanoff:
Hi Faith,

Sorry about the timing of the price change. We generally evaluate pricing twice per year, 5-10% is on the higher end of the price changes, usually they are closer to 2%. I can't & won't discuss specifics of pricing or specific deals, etc., however if you received a quote there should be a "valild until" date or something similar that locks in the price.

With regards to warranty, we have pretty high standards for hardware quality and performance, but with all electronics there's always a chance something breaks down. If you can afford the warranty, it's always recommended. 3 years is a pretty good length of time, though. I'd also be interested how many forum members get the extended warranties.
