I've owned & used Fluke DMMs and Tektronix scopes. I don't know much about
the Agilent U1242A DMM.

What's the history of these meters? Quality? Usability?

Anyone have any experiences to share?

Thanks.

I've had my U1242A about six months. I've known Agilent since they were HP
and I have no worries about quality. I haven't dropped it off a ladder yet
so can't comment on toughness ;-) It has all (and more) of the features I
need. The built-in probe park is a good idea, but I could wish for a hook
on it, though maybe a carry case would meet that need (I don't have one, it
lives in my toolbox).

Overall very satisfied.

John

I've got an Agilent meter on the way for review in my blog, so hopefully
will have a review soon.

Dave,
I watch your blog with interest. You go into details of usage and practical
features (ie, battery life) that I don't find elsewhere.

Looking forward to that Agilent review...

Thanks. Just hope it turns up, it's been promised so we'll wait and see :-D
Dave.

Are you going to tear it apart, like the Rigol Oscilloscope review?
Your tour of the insides was very informative and useful.

Come on, what have you got against the Arduino? Learn a latin vowel set
and you'll be all set.
