    Dave - The inductor is gunked to keep it from breaking in case of mechanical shock (unit is accidentally dropped, for example). This is fairly common practice in industrial electronics.

      I saw that one on amazon. And from the looks of it everyone has had some form of a t problem with it. If thats right out of the box i can only imagine the problems itll face after some use. What im looking for is a budget style meter that has a bunch of useful functions especially continuity but still a somewhat decent brand.

    The cat IV things on the probes aren't bull... if you're dealing with high energy circuits, having a probe that can't accidentally short between 2 terminals when it slips off the screw you've got it poked into... is a bloody good thing :)

  • @MorRobots

    The add on Bluetooth is not a total fail Dave and I can speculate why. Not all facilities are Bluetooth/Wifi Friendly for a multitude of reasons. For example I work in a facility that cellphones/WiFi/Bluetooth devices are not allowed for security reasons. I would speculate that Keysight wanted to keep customers with RF and security concerns in mind while also amplifying the potential to sell an already existing accessory.

    • @zviratko
      @zviratko 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      +MorRobots that doesn't explain anything. You can always disable bluetooth either in software, or in hardware (physical switch, jumper inside), or just make it totally passive when not in use. Frankly, to me multimeters are so last century when it comes to features...

      @MetalPhreakAU 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      +Jan “Zviratko” Schermer The places where BT/Wifi/Cameras are not allowed, simply won't let you in with them if you can re-enable it. It's for security not safety.

    • @MorRobots
      @MorRobots 8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      +Jan “Zviratko” Schermer No some of those facilities will not let you in with equipment that is even capable of WiFi/BT or even some types of RF. PERIOD... I agree however that Multimeters are kinda behind the times as far as diagnostic equipment goes.

      I thought I was seeing things too. The 'D' segment of the right hand section was out. Didn't replay the video though to see if others were out too. I will do now though you brought it up.
      Just did that and can see a few were not on because the Model number being displayed. I would have thought that was a pre-requisite for a device that is used in this way.

    Perhaps they are snotting the inductor to keep it from singing in the audio range. They do it all the time with high performance video cards.

  • @PlasmaHH
    @PlasmaHH 8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    There is a setup, just not via some button (hold setup while switching it on). There you can (like with about all keysight ones) change the setting from auto AC to auto DC voltage when turned on (who wants to have it on AC automatically anyways?). Also when you do the continuity test thing, whenever it doesnt work "fast" enough, you should redo it with high quality probes. It is almost always the probes. 1242B probes are crap, continuity almost unusable with them, using proper ones there is no problem at all.
    Also I think in the setup you can enable auto hold (try to have a look at the manual this time)

    Hey Dave, great teardown. Just wanted to point out that the meter does indeed have auto-hold - you need to enable it in the setup menu (hold down the orange button while turning the rotary knob). It's worth looking through the manual, there are a *lot* more capabilities in this meter than are immediately evident from a glance at the front panel.

  • @bearbin

    You can tell that you don't care for that meter. I got a great deal on mine and I absolutely love it. The range switch is difficult to turn, but it's ip67 rated. It has twice the counts as the u1271a. Slow on capacitance.

    • @filipsz6728
      @filipsz6728 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree with you. I love this multimeter. But few days ago I bought U1452A insulation meter with the same range switch and it's much better to operate it - does not stuck between the ranges. And the body and construction is almost the same IP67. But only outside. I can't tell that about inside construction of this switch. I guess they put some libricant on the internal part of this switch so that it can't stuck between the ranges like it happens in U1282A.

Even my trusty Micronta 22-195 bench meter from Radio Shack has a min-max hold feature. It's only 2,000 counts and I wouldn't trust it for anything over 200V, but I still use it. Good as new.

  • @mcmaddie
    @mcmaddie 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Reason why not put BT inside the device is that that way you don't need to get the thing certified in every single country you import it to. If the radio is external then it's enough to certify the radio module and not the devices where you use it. Of course if you don't care certificates then doesn't really matter.

      +Lagittaja From the manual (pretty sure this is the fluke touch hold like feature the previous Agilent meters had): The AutoHold operation monitors the input signal and updates the display, and if enabled, emits a beep whenever a new stable measurement is detected. The AutoHold mode will be triggered when the input signal varies more than a selected adjustable (AutoHold threshold) variation count (default 50 counts).

    I bet they did that to the inductor because when you beat the fluke the inductor broke.

      +EEVblog maybe to stop it from whining when it starts failing?

      +666Tomato666 Yeah I figured maybe someone during testing said they could hear the inductor so they gave it a squirt of snot to keep it quiet.

      +EEVblog Maybe be it was too noisy. Sometimes inductors generate high pitch sound. Once i used glue on inductors in my DSL modem to reduce that noise, and it works nicely.

      +EEVblog maybe it's to hold the electrons in !

    Why I cant use the maximum Function instead of the Auto hold ?

    Would'nt it be nice a multimeter with cable less test probes?
    I'm so tired of un messing the cables and be carefull not to damage them all the time.

    Dave, you showed the wrong datasheet of MAX6411 instead of MAX4611.The chip is a 4 channel multiplexer, not a voltage detector.

    And how come there aren't any multimeters to measure inductance? Are they not practical?

    maybe the put that stuff around the inductor either for sound water proofing. even though they should be water proof without any help

    It's a max4611 not 6411. Quad SPST switch, not voltage detector.

    Hi Dave, I see that you often "use" regular alkaline batteries. Aren't rechargeable batteries more environmentally friendly? I would really like if you could approach this topic. Specially when eneloop batteries advertise such great features like losing very little capacity over time (they advertise ~10% loss in 5 years). Anyway, I would really appreciate if you could chime in on this.
    Thanks for another great video!
