The firmware upgrade v1.7 adds a data log, appended each time hold is pressed. Have a go at it 😊. Thanks for the in circuit demo and high resolution view of the internals. Your description of the diode function should help a lot of your viewers understand why it’s not so good at diodes. Zotek spelled incorrectly in the title.
The PC board probes are pretty clever. I see they have the signal lead surrounded by shield traces. I wonder if they have an active guard as might be found on a high end meter? Over all this looks like a lot of function for the price and it looks surprisingly well made. My wishes would be to have a higher excitation voltage available and a higher test frequency at 100 KHz.
Thorough as usual Kerry. Mine arrived with an extra pair of tweezer tips as well. Nice gadget. Much better to use than the wired tweezers for my handheld lcr meter.
It seems strange, and a great shame, that the diode detection doesn't work for standard diodes given that the 0.6Vrms range with its1.72V peak-peak / 0.86V peak should be ample. Perhaps it can be fixed in software; had it worked I would have ordered one already.

" Zotek spelled incorrectly in the title." - Thanks for pointing that out. Corrected.
Thank you sir!❤

I was just scrolling through various LCR tweezers yesterday, and then up pops your review. Perfect timing!
Looks like a useful tool.
Thank you Kerry! Very detailed review!👍

Thank you, Kerry😊
The 10 pin VSSOP package chip is a TI PGA113 but I don't know what the TI44 labeled chip is.

Pretty good meter: I ordered some crazy clone from Ali. Wonder what I will get?
It’s where I got mine. Not a clone😅
