Multimeter spreadsheet (80 manufacturers and over 400 meters listed)

[rsjsouza]

Wytnucls, any reason (other than age, perhaps) the Keithley 191 is out of the list? I think it is a great meter on paper for a dirt cheap price. The reason is that I was looking for one and found it missing from the table.

BTW, regarding free/non-free viewers, Openoffice (free office package) opens the spreadsheet just fine.

Also, as I said before, great work on the spreadsheet!

(edit) added 191's specsheet

[Wytnucls]

No particular reason, except that I wasn't familiar with it. It will be listed at the next revision.

I have been looking at this one.  Why does this one show a reading with nothing connected to it?  Is it bad?  Several on ebay also show readings of some sort with no wires connected?  thanks

Meters often show some slight measurements when open circuit. It's just electrical noise and induced voltages as far as I know. Those will often show up, but it will settle down as soon as you put an actual circuit on the end of the probes.

U da man. Thanks!

What is with that updated spreadsheet download with EEVBlog DM1 branded multimeter?

Google doesn't return any results for it.

[tautech]

Wytnucls, has there been any further developments of the OWON DMM's?
You stated you added them to your spreadsheet: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/need-advise-for-owon-multimeter/msg675501/#msg675501

Latest in the OP does not show them or am I blind?

[Wytnucls]

Owon B35T is listed in the downloadable spreadsheet. The image on post one hasn't been updated in a while.

Any news on this? I found a post from November where Dave stated that a rebadged Brymen would be out "this month", but no updates since.
Edit: Found another post stating that the Brymen collaboration would be coming out in January. Looking forward to it, specs in the spreadsheet looked nice.

[Wytnucls]

Tentative specs. To be updated once meter is released.

--------------
Reads 4ma to 20ma as a percentage

at 4ma meter reads 0 %

at 20ma meter reads 100%

at 12ma meter reads  50%

etc  nice feature

The new Hioki DT4256 will be included in the next revision.
No AC+DC, 1mV AC (100uV DC) and 10uA DC (100uA AC) resolution only, no logic level frequency %, but has non contact high voltage detection.

[fanOfeeDIY]

Thank you ez24,

I found that all the abbreviations were addressed as comments on the excel file.

Hi Wytnucls,

Would like to correct some mistakes on my previous HIOKI DT4256 post.

'I'''I
  Yes, it has bar graph.

m/M
  It has average.

VFD
  It has low pass filter, selectable on 100Hz and 500Hz.

NCV
  Selectable between, AC40V-AC600V or AC60V-AC600V.

4-20
  Yes (on DT4256 and 4253, and not on 4252)

This is about Yokogawa.

All TY720, TY710, TY530, TY520 have:

Jack
  Physical port shutter.

[fanOfeeDIY]

I found that

UL
   All TY720, TY710, TY530, TY520 are UL listed.

[fanOfeeDIY]

This is on Yokogawa.

VFD
  On TY720, TY530, TY520 but not on TY710.

[fanOfeeDIY]

LoZ
  TY720 has it. Other TY710, TY530, TY520 don't.

[fanOfeeDIY]

This is for HIOKI.

Not according to the Yokogawa manuals. Quote a reference with your corrections.

[Wytnucls]

Again, no LoZ on TY720. Read the manual.

Hi,

I did refer to original Japanese manuals and materials, since I am Japanese and could read in Japanese.
Many Japanese companies are not so good at making English web-sites in general.
Iwatsu and Leader do not look good compare to Japanese web-sites, but even the Japanese one is not so great.
Hioki andYokogawa are mostly OK but I see some places it could have been improved.

This is community forum and I just wanted to help improving the chart.
I thought having many people from the world would benefit on this forum and also good place to put the knowledge together.
I really did not have any other intention.

I own both TY530 and DT4256.

This is the manual about low pass filter.

[fanOfeeDIY]

I found that

UL
   All TY720, TY710, TY530, TY520 are UL listed.

530, 520 are not UL listed.

http://tmi.yokogawa.com/files/uploaded/IMTY530_S01_010.pdf

English web site is not always up to date.
I thought it is good to verify who could read the original Japanese.

This is dated on 2011.

This is the official UL list from the UL web-site which specifies about TY700 and TY500 series.
