New Multi function Tester

[Wiki-Electrical]

Hi Everybody

I have a tight budget and need to buy a new set of test instruments.
I have been thinking of getting the "all in one" type units.
Does anybody have any advice on which is best?
I am looking for a unit that can sync with my laptop and produce some posh printed certs.

any advice appreciated!

Thanks

James

If budget is tight I don't think you'll get top end gear in a tight budget. Haven't used any of the testers with bluetooth etc to comment if its worth the money or not.

The Metrel MI3000 is around £414 delivered from Test Meter (add in a Forum 5% discount after that).

A lot of editable PDF's on this forum that will deliver a nice looking Test Cert for all the cost of paper and ink. If you want to buy the software stuff then Tysoft's Easy Cert stuff I find very good, with good customer support as well. It's just over £200 though, and to keep it updated is around £70 a year after that. I have it and think its great, that said if I had my time again I'd look more at the free PDF's available here and see if I could make them work.

Unsure about the syncing capabilities but the Dilog is good affordable instrument.

Also, you receive a 5% discount from our forum sponsors if you buy from them.

is the syncing thing on those testers really worth the bother and the expense?
Easy cert with a cheap netbook works great for me.
I have a Megger 1553 or 2, works a treat, rarely lets me down
