Good pluses are the excellent responsiveness of the bargraph and the conductivity "beep". However, the DC mili-volt range, the 100kHz frequency meter and the ohmmeter range are excellent. Good pluses are the frequency meter, the capacitance meter that reaches micro-farad measurements and even the temperature (to avoid burning my hands or fingers in sometimes overheat equipment).įor electronic circuit testing, the only missing functions are a micro-ammeter and a pico-farad range on the capacitance meter. The set of functions on this equipment is perfectly suitable for dealing with electrical systems, especially the default AC setting on current measurements.
