Second DMM ?
luudee:
Gentleman,
both, JoeRoy and Hexley, many many thanks for your replies !
I must admit, despite being 30+ years in the industry, I am mostly in front of the computer than in a lab. ;)
I will research your detailed replies in the next few days, and probably will have more questions, lol
Again, many many thanks !!!
Kind Regards,
luudee

give the 7500 *continues* better performance if it is calibrated annually ?

That is the fast digitizer, not the regular measurement, that have more bits.

Siglent SDM3065x and Keithley DMM6500 have a Scan card option, I do recommend it, you can find DIY projects for an interface.

The Keithley has two scan card options: a 10 channel card, and a 9 channel card w/ temp sensor (for thermocouples). If you want a card, I recommend the thermocouple card. If you really need more than 9 channels, DIY a 20 channel card with solid state relays.

The LM399 ref. found in most 6 digit meters is not really good enough for a 7.5. digit meter. It is still found in a few Keithley meters togehter with an extra zener. The DMM7510 uses a much better LTFLU reference.
For the SDM3065 the scanner is not an option to add later, it has to be ordered with a scanner as there are also extra parts on the main PCB needed. So one can consider the version with scanner as a different, though separate meter.
