  1. Multi-meter fuse blew up while checking the outlet, which popped the main fuse, which ruined my 3D-Print half-way. The worse part: I found out the the whole outlets and lights in this place go through the same fuse.

  2. #Fluke, #Gossen, and other manufacturers of high-end digital #multimeter should seriously consider piggybacking on #mobile phones.

    That way, they can focus on their core competencies of multimeter frontend, protection circuitry, function generation, low-level signal processing, and so on., while leveraging the phone's high-level data processing, massive storage, AI coprocessor, graphics coprocessor, touch UI, large screen, customisability, programmability, and the like, not to mention the fact that every #EE pockets a mobile, these days.

    These two devices can then interact via a high-bandwidth cable or near-field connection.

    As a long-time user of traditional multimeters (I started on the Simpson 260 analogue VOM, before switching to a Fluke DMM), it sickens me to say that. But I do believe this trend is inevitable. Some might even argue that such a mode shift necessary and good.

  3. One of the many weird things my dad left me was his #Fluke digital #multimeter. It's decades old, but Fluke is know for its high quality and it's still worth a small fortune. It was however incredibly dirty and in need of a thorough cleaning. Naturally I took it #apart, chugged some of it in the dishwasher, cleaned the rest by hand, relubed what need to be lubed and put the whole thing back together. With great #success, I might add. Feelt a bit like hanging out with my #dad again. Good times.

  4. I’m also looking at Fluke 289, but I’m hesitant because:
    1. Price
    2. It’s around 15 years old (it has IR port!)
    3. Eats batteries like mad
    4. Takes time to turn on
    5. No LCAP mode despite it has Lo-Z
    6. No CD or cable included - it’s around 150$ extra to be able to connect it to the computer - which results in around 1000$
    7. Those same cheap probes included. Why, Fluke?

    Otherwise the functionality and accuracy are really exciting.

  5. Btw I chose Fluke 117 if anyone is interested 😃.
    Mainly because:
    1. Price
    2. It’s a relatively new model
    3. It has NCV (VoltAlert) - will come in handy with future apartment repairs
    4. It has Lo-Z and more importantly as it turned out - LCAP mode that allowed me to troubleshoot my guitar pedalboard setup recently.

    In general it’s awesome. One thing I hate is the included probes. Swapped those for the proper silicone ones.

  6. Since I have recently bought my first Fluke I’ve been diving pretty deep into the multimeter topic and one thing that makes Flukes more than worth for me is surprisingly the way diode checking works. The famous chirp and beep they produce. Can’t really explain why most other meters don’t follow - it makes troubleshooting so much easier and faster 🙌🏻

  8. Ich hab das jetzt mal per Video festgehalten und ein zweites #Multimeter dazugestellt.

    Wow. So ein Verhalten hab ich noch nicht live gesehen... Krass! Wie lange das wohl gut geht? #Stromausfall incoming? :-)
