Can anyone recommend a relatively decent DMM?
This is a question I can answer myself easily but not within the parameters I have been given.
I am forever asked for recommendations from people who’s jaws drop when I suggest a cheap Brymen etc with comments like “I was expecting £20”. This it has to be cheap as chips and shipped from the Far East. Never will it be used on the mains. I was thinking one of those Aneng type units. Or is there something better now?
BTW I’ve found a bug in the BM867s. If you float around the ranging boundary of 5v and there’s an AC signal on it, even if it’s only 100mV or so it never settles on a range. After a minute or two it hangs and requires being rebooted. Not good
... put the U1241C on it and did the same test around it’s ranging boundary and it’s rock solid. Also i have put it on 40 readings/sec and it’s still stable there.
I usually use the BM867s on manual range so this isn’t an issue in daily use but a frustrating point.
