Maybe for the same reason there are lots of 7510s.  I'm guessing government funds for technology upgrades.

I assume it might also have something to do with distancing from US based companies after the orange dildo decided to ruin the world.

That is entirely possible too.

He's a bad, bad man.

The Test Equipment board is for technical discussions, not for your political wanking.

Such a statement seems to be an expression of your politics, which is as you stated, not appropriate for this board. BillyO's statement was a response to the state of international trade regarding TE. Slightly more on topic than your ad hominem attack.

Also worth point out that BillyO is the OP in this thread. 🤷

You used the word "dildo", which is precisely used for wanking, so probably best to stop the conversation now.

[BillyO]

Now you're propagating this.

lol, that's fair, but was still on topic. As BillyO said, you're propagating this, and taking the thread off topic for what appears to be political reasons. If you're going to talk shit politically, at least keep it on topic.

Well, I went for it and it's looking very nice.  It seems to be a lot more resistant to noise than the HP 34401, which is good.  Still have to figure out how to do THD measurements with it.  The manual is not great at explaining this.  Any hints?

[KungFuJosh]

Any hints?

Do you guys have youtube up north?

The reason people mistakenly think there is a “2015THD” is simply because the front panel says “2015 THD Multimeter”. But that isn’t intended to mean [2015 THD]+[Multimeter], it’s actually [2015]+[THD Multimeter].

FWIW if I look at the front panel fonts of my meter, it clearly says 2015 THD MULTIMETER
The 2015 and THD share the same bold fonts but MULTIMETER is not in bold. If you can't immediately see this then compare the T characters

That's why I always refer to my multimeter as a 2015 THD. It's how it is described on the front panel and that's why I think a lot of people also refer to it as a 2015 THD even if this is wrong. I don't really care that the official model number is reduced to 2015 at the factory or in the manual or via GPIB. I'll always refer to it in the way it is labelled on the front panel as a 2015 THD

What’s weird is that they seem to have changed this at some point. See the attached photos: some units show “2015 THD Multimeter”, others show “2015 THD Multimeter”. (The datasheets and manuals, however, have never considered “THD” to be part of the model number.) I’m pretty sure mine has the THD in bold, since it’s an older unit.

On the other hand, every picture of a 2015-P/2016-P formats it like “2015-P Audio Analyzing DMM”.

OK, so I actually forgot to attach the pictures when I posted…   

I edited the post above to attach them.
