Keysight's new 34465A (6.5 digit) and 34470A (7.5 digit) bench multimeters
<< < (141/145) > >>
Hexley:
The continuity test feature in my 34465A is acting oddly when the meter is first powered on: the beep sound extends for a long time after continuity is broken. In other words, a brief touch of the probes will produce a few full seconds of sound.

After 3 or 4 test touches, with the prolonged beep period getting shorter on each test, the meter seems to recover and it operates as expected from that point onward.

I suppose Keysight should take a look at this. Before sending it in for service, I wanted to ask if any forum members have seen a similar issue?

BTW, the meter is running v3.01 firmware.
TheSteve:
I don't see this on a 34461A running 3.01 but I know in the past the performance of continuity was broken on the 34461A when they first added support for the 34465/70 so there is a difference somewhere. Hopefully another 34465A owner can comment.
HighVoltage:
The continuity test behavior of these instruments never went back to how it was when the 34461A was released first with the original FW.
My guess, its probably such a minor issue that will not be addressed again in the future with new FW updates.

Running FW v3.01 on my 34465A, just fired mine up and found no issues with odd tone or tone latch behavior.

Thanks for checking. Looks like it is not a widespread issue, just something idiosyncratic here.
