Actually the CEM DT-9989 had all the features:  20mHz Oscilloscope, Thermocouple inputs,  Data Logging, BlueTooth interface, but the scope and BT were terrible.

Must be able to produce DL=>BT=>Excel.

The Fluke 196C used (under $500) would be a candidate since it data logs, but does not have multimeter inputs - specifically thermocouple.

Uni-T 181a is too crappy but no scope frequencies but can't get into to Excel anyway.

The SBS600 appears to do everything except no oscilloscope (yes it trends, but no radio frequency scope)

Hanteck makes some really cool scopes under $250 but non of the multimeter features.

Would be nice if some site had a feature filter to find units, but when you start asking for TC logging with oscilloscopes it falls on deaf ears.

I know if I live a few more years, there will be lots of choices...

EDIT:  PS:  The Fluke 289 has a terrible shortcoming:  you cannot view Trend Graph while the unit is Data Logging.  Real time trend monitoring is necessary when monitoring a critical limit - so maybe you would have to use the BT or PC interface to do this - if those interfaces are capable of doing it.

Hi,

I don't (yet) have personal experience of this unit, perhaps another member can provide insight there; but from a feature perspective would this suffice?

The GDS-300 is interesting with the temperature data logging. 

It is frustrating trying to get detailed specs on these devices (even the Fluke 289 will not trend plot while data logging - a major fail).  The question about the 300 is will it log ALL inputs?

But this is academic since out of my price range and unlikely to find it for sale used.  (used I could swing if it did what I wanted.)

Thanks.

I hate to say it but the OWON B35T+  (or B41T+) are what I'm going to go with until the feature set I"m interested finds it way onto the market.  I think in 5 years, half the meters out there will data log, graphics display, and communicate.
