Bench models usually have a way to control it remotely, via GPIB or Ethernet or USB or RS-232 (and often some combinations of those).
That's really useful when you need to collect data in an automated fashion.

On the bench? Both show identical numbers...  :-//

KungFuJosh:
I think I'm just going to sell or trade my SDG2042X towards the SDM3055. I think my Amprobe covers my needs well enough compared to the other handhelds. With the minimal price difference between the nicer handhelds and the SDM3055, I don't see a reason not to get it. (besides it being overkill, not really needing it, etc.) Or maybe I'll be dumb and make room for both on my bench. 🤣


Also, just to throw this out there... Is there a $500 competitor to the SDM3055 that anybody thinks is as good or superior? I'm really not interested in a used meter, so let's not go there. Used meters are projects, I have plenty of projects.

That would be Smart, as you'll need all the digits & signals you can get in those Radiation Hardened Thermionic Emission Field Effect Encapsulated Devices to find those Leaking Electrons that were Thermionic Emitted from the Bright source and got lost on their way to be Collected at the Dark side :)
