There's no accuracy issue. The 5.5 digit model for the China market is the same exact hardware. I did a comparison test with an SDM3055, and my X-E version was more stable in the smaller digits. I assume because the X-E model has had a lot more burn in time.

Here's the results of that test:


Note that it's a reference from AliExpress, and while it's a better quality one, I wouldn't bet any money on the cal data. Though it did appear to actually be handwritten.

Within 0.5 mV and more stable is pretty awesome performance.

Kleinstein:
From the pictures reports around the SDM3048 / 3055E uses a few cheaper parts than the full 3055. AFAIK the main ones are:
1) the input divider with separate resistors instead of a large ceramic divider
2) A REF5025 instead of max6225
3) simpler resistors in the ohm part
4) smaller relays (maybe less tolerant to switching with high voltage present)
5) smaller size shunts - more thermal INL expected
6) no fan : quite, but longer warmup time
So there is a chance to see a little more long term drift and also reference noise. Still even the cheap version it not that bad and well capable of 5.5. digits.

Yes we know all this.

Topic is SDM3045X-E HW = SDM3055X-E China version.

glitchcatcher:
Has anyone tried the Siglent SCD30A shunt after a successful conversion?
Is the "Option Measure" available in current measure mode?

The shunt manual states: "Suggest only working with SIGLENT SDM series 5 ½ or 6 ½ multimeters."
The SDM3055X-E is a 5 1/2 one.

My SDM3045X definitely doesn't have that option.

I don't see that button using the SDM3055X-E firmware. Actually, it's not on the standard SDM3055 either.
