It also has SD-card data logging for unattended uses. https://www.eevblog.com/product/121gw/ |

Good Morning Vtwin@cox.net, I have the EEVBLOG 121GW and love the way it records on a mini SD card. I have permanently removed the blue boot from my meter to allow easier access to the card, (the meter never leaves the bench, so little chance of dropping it). And it has Bluetooth too, but I've not used it yet, so can't comment. Cost was just over $200, but worth it to me, as it has other features not found on most DMMS. :popcorn: |

I also found this one after a while: https://www.flir.com/products/dm93/ the $300ish price-tag is much more reasonable than the $600-1000 price-range I was looking at. Now to spend some time evaluating each one and make a purchase tomorrow. --- End quote --- Hi vtwin@cox.net, My suggestion might appear dumb considering the reputation of Uni Trend but if you are considering Flir DM93, may I suggest UT60BT. It will definitely not break the bank, costs less than $40. In comparison with DM93 it mainly lacks Flir quality, bar graph and low pass filter. I haven't checked all the specs so please take a look at them yourself. You can see the technical specs on the following link http://www.uni-trend.com/meters/html/product/General_Meters/DigitalMultimeters/UT60%20Series/UT60BT.html You can see it in action in the following video. The inside of the meter is presented at about 34:04 and bluetooth capability at about 39:38 minutes mark. Edit: Or if you want better quality instrument check out Hioki DT4261 https://www.hioki.com/global/products/testers/dmm-3/id_108097 I do not know its price. It also lacks uA current range like DM93 and UT60BT but has AC+DC that the other two lacks. Some highlights of the meter: Hope it helps. |

TARGUS?) with the 121GW, such as shown by Joe Smith in his video series about the "ULTRA", now renamed to "PM PRIME BT", which works without a problem as well as using an USB-IR-Connection? ...not that I recommend buying a Gossen Metrawatt, but at least in this respect together with the use of an external power supply they are not that bad, such as as well as the Metrix 3293B/Chauvin Arnoux 5293... ;) ht*****tps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZChenxYv04 Cheers! :) |

The screws are 'captive', so no worries about losing them. The back of the meter stays in place nicely even with screws left loose. I found a 3D printed stand on the internet that holds my meter at a nice angle. I put some stick-on velcro to hold it in place. I like to log without having to turn on the computer. The little 8 Gb Micro SD card holds lots of logging. I thought I would need a bigger capacity card, but that is not the case. :popcorn: |
