Teardown of the Agilent U1233A (Multimeter)?
« on: April 15, 2012, 01:14:06 pm »
I would like to see a teardown/review of the latest (I believe it is the latest) Agilent multimeter U1233A (also U1231 and U1232).

I have tried it out a bit myself and compared it to the two other DMMs that Agilent has (and also to the Fluke 179 i use most often):
-Cheaper than the others, but does not have the same precision and functionality.
-The rotary selector knob can not touch the ground if dropped (the rubber on the edges of the meter protects it.
-The continuity mode is faster and has both audio and flashing light (but still not as good as Fluke)
-The start-up melody can be turned off without turning of all beeps!  :)
-It has built in flashlight
-It has built in non-contact voltage detection (like those small voltage pens)

I have not had time to open it up yet, but I think that Dave does it better than me anyway  ;)
