Siglent SDM 3065X or Keithley DMM 6500 as a new DMM?
(1/4) > >>
chephato:
I am looking for a new digital multimeter and am not sure which one to get:

Siglent SDM3065X which looks like it can get the job done but the refresh rate is pretty slow
- OR -
Keithley DMM 6500 which is about 25% more expensive but has a much faster refresh rate but is pretty long lengthwise for a bench top



Post your vote.

You know in your heart that you want the DMM6500. The warp-speed refresh rates and "half way to an oscilloscope" plots will bring joy every time you use them. Treat yourself!
chephato:
It might sound like that but I actually like the user interface of the Siglent more. I'm not a fan of unnecessary gradients and rounded corners on small screens like on the Keithley. I mean seriously, who does the UI design there? Aren't solid colored boxes easier to implement than silly gradients?

So genuinely, I am neutral when it comes to this decision.
jjoonathan:
I'm all about responsiveness. The theme plays no part in my preferences. Your call, of course, just make sure you haven't missed this dimension by limiting yourself to static pictures, spec sheets, and videos at slow NPLC settings.
Electro Fan:
How often are you going to collect and post-process data or automate data collection and data processing vs. mostly making attended measurements?  How much do you like to write programs and scripts?
