Siglent SDM3045X - 4.5 Digit Dual Display Digital Multimeter

Superb Bench DMM

5.0

For background, I teach Industrial Maintenance. Most of our work is done with little 2,000 count Handheld DMMs. They work fine for most things, but when we cover things like Op-Amp circuits, SCR Phase-Control, and Signal Amplifiers it’s nice to be able to see what voltage and current you REALLY have. This meter is not much more in cost than a handheld, but there are very few handhelds which have 66,000 counts! The ones that do like the Keysight U1280 series cost triple or more what this meter does. I love being able to connect it to the PC to collect data and display readings for my students. I love that all of the 4-wire terminals are on the front (some bench meters aren’t!). I love the Histogram, Trendline, and statistics built right into the unit! I wish the dual measurement option was a little better (it’s slow and the second measurement is displayed very small). I wish it would calculate power since it can read voltage and current at the same time. Overall, I’m very impressed and one day hope to have an SDM3065X just to see what it’s like owning one that accurate! Until then, this one works wonders.
