Joe Geller did such a test with 34410A which was the first "TrueVolt" AC sampling type DMM (besides 3458A of course...)
Really good result!

But hey at least they didn't go for the old "Keithley brown" color.

The Keithley doo-doo brown has kind of grew on me. Makes me feel I should put up some orange 70s wallpaper in the lab.

The new Keysight meter would certainly not look out of place on the Death Star, so they have that going for them.

Santa is very kind for me this year.
He got me just enough gear now to test that mighty Keysight 3458A Black

Few more bits like 5725A booster, AC/DC transfer standard, Fluke 752A reference divider and so on did not fit on the table.

Geez, good thing that table is as massive as the boat anchorage that's on it.

Neat pic, you should share in TEA.

Now, that’s a dining room I would love to have! Reminds me of the single days.

Can’t wait to see the result.

You need a good security system! That's >$100k of equipment behind a patio door.

+1 , thats the 1st thing pop out in my mind when I saw that photo.

So you got new equipment, more equipment, and even a brand new country to host your stuff.
Already wondered, why you've packed everything into containers.
Curious what you are doing now.
Illya, Good luck to you, anyhow.

And expensive insurance. It's just temporary photo for holiday purposes.
Everything will be tucked away in the bunker in next few days, need to finish the proper bench first.

I let the TEA crazy army know about this:

A belated +1 for the TiN review 'sample'

It will be interesting to see keysight's decisions re baseline temperature for the reference and the hundreds of other potentially conflicting decisions that go into such a complex instrument.

#sendittoTIN

+1

TiN · « **Reply #63 on:** January 10, 2020, 04:04:14 am »

I guess #sendittoTiN is official now.
Large Keysight box showed up today.

jklasdf · « **Reply #64 on:** January 10, 2020, 05:33:08 am »

Are you allowed to open it?

NoisyBoy · « **Reply #65 on:** January 10, 2020, 06:01:48 am »

Can’t wait to see some new vs. old comparisons. I hope it will meet and exceed the heritage units out there.

And thanks Daniel for making it happen.

Zucca · « **Reply #66 on:** January 10, 2020, 08:22:26 am »

Thanks Daniel for making it happen, and thanks TiN.
Awesome.

VK5RC · « **Reply #67 on:** January 10, 2020, 10:08:45 am »

Congrats TiN, K-S and Daniel!

Has it been "run in' do you think, see how it changes over the first few days to weeks of use.

I think you are in need of some lab carts for the inatruments, that table is more compatible to a bunch of 427A

Hey TiN,

Is there any observations on new vs. old when it comes to performance and accuracy?

vaualbus · « **Reply #70 on:** June 15, 2020, 12:08:17 am »

Any new on the photos or more general on the unit?

coromonadalix · « **Reply #71 on:** June 15, 2020, 01:59:06 am »

I hope they have modernised the cpu interface / memory to someting workable and repairable IE: no unobtanium parts
