[volt-nuts] opinions on picotest m3500A

[Robert Atkinson]

OMG it's got a 7150 input filter! Watch for smoke;-)
More seriously, I've not used one, but it appears to be a typical far eastern clone. Looks the same and similar spec but don't expect the build quality, longterm stability, reliability and robustness to be the same as HP or Fluke.

I've recently been looking into replacing my HP 34401a that was my
bench/portable workhorse DMM and noticed that the Taiwanese company
Picotest has a meter, the m3500A, with very similar specs to the
34401a. They sell new for around what a used 34401a and a trip to be
calibrated costs ($700-800 USD) and have USB interfaces versus
serial/GPIB.

has anyone used one? does anyone have any good, independent data on
their accuracy/precision/long term reliability versus an HP/Agilent
34401a or a 3456a?
