Fluke 289 no live trend ?

[tonycstech]

I was under the impression Fluke 289 has live view of a trend/graph but i cant seem to find it anywhere in the menus or buttons.
Am i missing something ?
Or it can only do recording and then analysis ?
If thats true, is there another meter that is not bugger than this that has live view of either voltage or resistance etc that will obviously cost half of that anyway ?

You can use handled oscilloscope/or Fluke199 with recorder feature.

I could hire an illegal immigrant for less to sit there and record voltages in real time drawing  a graph at same time.
Would be cheaper than buying $2K device to do just one thing.

Too many DMMs to count with Bluetooth, IR/USB/serial and either live graphing on the DMM itself or to an app on your phone/tablet/computer.

I have a 189II=287 that has that mode.   It worked well once I set it up.   I had the RTFM to find it.

It doesn't have that sort of feature, it is only record and "playback" with the on-screen functionality pretty limited.  Somehow some people think it works like a low-BW oscilloscope and it doesn't.  You can use the IR3000FC adapter and a suitable phone to both view the values remote them and graph them.  Or you can use the IR189USB cable and a suitable PC with TestController software.  I have all of these and the last one is best for most electronics stuff while the remote method is handy at times for industrial or home electrical work.

I was thinking about Fluke 867B but Fluke 867B is garbage.
It does have what i need but it has so many issues with the rotating switch, its incredible it was sold to public without proper testing.
It would be OK if they had the turn switch parts for sale but they dont, making that meter obsolete trash.
And it takes too much space for what it does. It could be half its size if they wanted to make it compact.

Get a meter with Fluke Connect. The Fluke Connect apps does do a live view trend. I do it with the 189 and 289 and the IR3000FC module.
