Fluke 77IV Vs Hioki DT4252 - autohold comparison

To have autohold function triggered again, Hikoki needs to be disconnected from the input or the input value needs to change to another range. Otherwise nothing happens except the bargraph movement. Fluke autohold is differently implemented and I prefer it. This is valid through all modes, not only in resistance. Hikoki manual says: "when the test leads are moved away from the measurement object, reconnected again, and the measured value stabilizes, a beeping sound is generated and the new measured value is retained".

The hioki auto hold works different, it latches the stable value and release the latch when the probe is removed (or a significant change happens), auto hold is suppose to be used from one measurement to the next and not for a variable value that is what normal mode is for. The fluke unlatch and relatch with smaller changes. In practice it makes no difference say measuring battery banks because you release the latch from one battery to the next. Both methods work well

yup, agree, in the end it's down to your personal preference & daily needs

I also prefer the Fluke implementation of the auto-hold function

Hioki. Not hikikoki.

[@aicisha]

Correct now, thanks!

Wow hioki is too slow

[@aicisha]

Just different implementation, read the description for more details

I thought Hioki was high quality 😢

[@aicisha]

it is surely a high-quality DMM, but in this video I compared the auto-hold functions
