Re: Siglent Bench DMMs SDM3065X, SDM3055 and SDM3045X

I am currently in the process of choosing an affordable bench multimeter for hobby use and am considering purchasing the SDM3045X. Upon closely studying the datasheets, I found that the datasheets from different versions show significantly different accuracy levels.

For example, in the datasheet from Siglentna and Siglenteu (https://siglentna.com/wp-content/uploads/dlm_uploads/2023/02/SDM3045X_DataSheet_E04A.pdf), the DCV accuracy for the 6V range is 0.06% + 8, while in the older datasheet from Welectron (https://www.welectron.com/mediafiles/datasheets/siglent/Siglent_SDM3045X_Datasheet-Web.pdf), it’s 0.02% + 6. Does anyone know which is correct? Or is there currently a new 'improved' version of the device being released?

Do these DMMs still suffer from the 2V relay click or has this been solved with a firmware update?

thanks, so the solution is to get the chinese x-e version or buy the 3055x.

Try this thread instead: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/sdm3045x-to-sdm3055x-e-improvement-thread/

Note that some newer hardware versions without public firmware of the 3045X cannot be improved (yet?).

If you can afford the 3055, get that instead, as it is superior hardware.
