Keysight's new 34465A (6.5 digit) and 34470A (7.5 digit) bench multimeters
<< < (84/145) > >>
Faith:
Finally got my 34465A a week ago but I have been a little busy so I registered for the MEM upgrade first before setting everything up, but that only took three days for Keysight to process, haha. Registration was quick and easy but of course once you get the certificate you still need to create an account to tie the license to your DMM.

As said I'm a little tight on space so I made this custom shelf to fit the DMM. Only 2mm of clearance on each side so it's a perfect fit without removing the handle.

I keep all of my probes plus my handheld DMM underneath, so it's easy to pull everything out at any time when I need to take measurements. Happy!

That is a vert nice made cabinet.  :-+ (I have 2 right hands but not when it comes to woodworking and painting)

I really like your colored tools. Never seen that before, that makes it a lot easier to pick the right one if they are spread all over your bench.

I bought a new Keithley 2000 a few years ago, great meter for my job. I bought it back then pure on the specs.It fitted the most to my wishes that did not include the looks.
But if I had to buy it now it would be hard to choose the same way. I have not looked at the specs but that display is great. Often you need to look where your probes are and then take a short look at the meter and that display makes it much easier (and safer) to do.

I have an Agilent handmultimeter for 6 years or so, still very happy with it, but not with the probes, they have become sticky and are falling apart, also had to replace the common bus in the meter itself. But from a meterologic point of view it is great, it is stil spot on (and that is very important for me because I only repair test and calibration gear for a living)

Nice wood working skills.
I would recommend leaving the rear of the cabinet open to improve airflow.

PA4TIM: Haha, I had a friend help me with this, otherwise on my own I would never get anything done because I am very OCD about my cabinet measurements.

What I like most about my coloured tools is that for components which I have to work on frequently I quickly start to remember which colours I need for when since it's easier for me to remember colours than size numbers.

The display on these DMM's are definitely fantastic. Especially when using the black background, it is very easy to pick up on measurement values extremely quickly, even with stats and et cetera enabled.

voltsandjolts: Yep, the back is completely open for where the DMM is. Only the top and bottom is closed so that my probes and tools don't fall off!

For everyone else: I have noticed a small problem with the Trend Chart (firmware A.02.14).

When I select a Time Window of 5 Minutes and then switch back to 1 Minute to acquire a more detailed view of recent events the values from 5 Minutes will disappear when I switch back to it. Really?

But if I select "All" instead of "Recent" then I can see a full view since the beginning of when I began taking measurements. But of course this doesn't help when I have several hours of measurements already (the view becomes too compact).

Is there any way to prevent the view of various Time Window ranges from disappearing when moving up and down between the ranges?

Thank you for any help anyone is able to provide!

That behaviour is correct.
The Trend Chart is a different display mode only, besides Number and Bar Graph and Histogram.
It is not intended to do Data Logging. Therefore, data is cleared, when you change the window.
This mode alone also does not store data in memory, for later access.

If you want to log data, you need to chose Aquire => Datalog, instead of Continuos, and then you have  the feature of zooming into the stored data, as now Zoom and Pan show up in the Display - Trend menu.

Datalog usually stores your data into memory of the 34465A, or better, into a file,  so you can later access them, which is not possible, when you only use Continuous mode.
