Learn how to fix your OWON XDM1041 oscilloscope in this helpful repair video. Follow along as we troubleshoot and repair a common issue with this device.
A moment of silence for the little fuse that made the ultimate sacrifice to protect his friends. According to the owon xdm1041 black box, a certain owner (name withheld for privacy) over powered the measured current settings with angry electrons. Causing the quick and brutal end to Mr. Fuse. We are all saddened by his way too short life. Reports say that Mommy fuse was very proud of her little fuse and he was always ready and willing to help others. I can't type anymore, I got such much water in my eyes that I am having a hard time seeing. It Might be time for my meds. hehehe
Hi i also wanted to buy same multimeter but dont have the full details on it many peoples says that this has bad usb connectivity and some say its autoranging is not proper for current , i want to ask you how you feel about it i want this to log current measurement over long time frame and want to take log on usb and my mcu will switch between 50mA to 50uA so i will also need auto ranging feature in it so as per my requirement will you recommend this to me
Hello, I have not had any issues with usb connectivity with it. If you check out my videos on my test cell I built and use to log test on inductors and capacitors you can see I wrote my own logging software which communicates to a number of my bench equipment including this meter. It cannot switch from the ma range to amps by software as this requires physically moving the probe to a different input. But I have not had any auto-range issues with it between ma and ua in my use. It is no Keithley or Agilent but for cheap it is pretty good. Hope this helps. RJ
I do not know I have run it logging that long, I have for sure done over 6 hours. Most of my temp cycles are about 1-2 hours. Now to make sure I am being clear, my logging is the computer getting the readings from the meter and storing it. I am not standalone logging with the meter. RJ

You’re a mess Rick, yes I did what I do best… mess up.

Thanks RJ , for confirmation have you used this for more than 15 hours i have one requirement where i need to log current for more than 12 hours

I often wondered what was in one of those. I wonder it it could be modded to use a LiPo battery?
I think the next model up has a battery, check it out.
