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.

kj7e:
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.
