| Multimeters with (Color) Graphic Display - Summary & Comparison |

I have a MTX 3292 and I really love it. IMHO you can forget the graphing, on the 3292 it is not so easy to zoom in, so there are not many occasions where you can really use it. But what I like with the graphic display is the ability to show more information. I first looked at the Fluke, but it takes ages to startup. The Metrix is instant on, so you can use it immediately. It also has the last measurement function enabled when powering on. The only drawback: The beeper could be a bit louder (at least for me), and even when it is switched off it eats batteries. So from time to time you have to load it. |

With both of your owning them, are the Metrix difficult to disassemble? Does it void the warranty if they are taken apart? I am just surprised I have never seen any pictures posted of their internals. For the price, I would expect these to be bullet proof. Imagine if all we saw was a single PTC like the ANENGs.. :-DD :-DD |

So. it is probably combination of both.. |
