I never bought this unit as I had other needs for my instrument but it looks really nice to me. |
A friend has one of these and its very good. It uses a square wave for ac which produces good calibration results.
I agree about ac calibration. If you look at the specs for a modern DMM the ac is usually an order of magnitude less accurate than the dc.
