Other brands also have the same bar graph feature. Having said that, from what I understand the UK loves the old analog AVO multimeters. There is a forum dedicated to vintage test gear (over 17,000 posts) at http://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/f...splay.php?f=36 If you can get an AVO for really cheap, then I suggest you get one. In the USA, Simpson is the highly regarded analog multimeter.

Re: dmm v analogue
Being able to see the rate of change of what you're measuring is what analog is good for.

Re: dmm v analogue
For speed, analog is the best, and for accuracy, digital is best.

Re: dmm v analogue
The analog is good for fast changing voltages or mA.
The dirt cheep digital are slow as turtles. The 300-400$ modern digital ones does have the speed to measure almost anything. Even so by having at hand plus one high quality analog, you are 100% ready to measure anything. Last edited by Kiriakos GR; 05-23-2012 at 02:26 PM.. |
