| Rick:
electronupdate's video shows very clearly that it is more accurate than the fluke 17 it is compared to. Watch the video again pls. Now I need to see that myself when mine arrive. I also bought a dmmcheck circuit so that I can test it. I shall also buy precision resistances and see if all that is said is true. I shall let you know in this thread if you want. There is too much direct advertising going on (not only on eevblog, let's be fair) so everybody can check him/herself if it suits his/her needs. I think it is ok for hobbyists. I still keep my DM-10 cheap multimeter which is 25 years old and I am not afraid of measuring 220V with it... so why not using this one? |

that is the thing, it is suitable for hobbiests but has ranges that go beyond the needs. I don't trust it, my AM220 does all that I need and I have far more CONFIDENCE in it. |

--- Quote from: Simon on October 28, 2012, 07:54:50 pm ---...my AM220 does all that I need and I have far more CONFIDENCE in it. --- End quote --- It's only 1-2 % accurate. Even a hobbyist may have better expectations. I was looking at AM140 but when I saw the specs I gave up. Accuracy: "whatever"+30-40 LSD on current ranges. Unless you pay for the brand name for me it is not acceptable. Like that Chinese brand Brymen which offers 500.000 count but each time the accuracy is <whatever>+40-60 digits, the question is why do we have the extra 1-2 digits if there is that much uncertainty on them. Is it worth having that last digit ? Do I get it right? |
