    Finally Marco got hands on proper 8.5 digit DMM and not all this drifty or self-cooking stuffs ;-). I begin to like my ADR1001's, need to finish up the public design. Soon (TM)...

      Parts Per Million. Just like a percent (%) is total * 1/100, PPM is total * 1/1000000. So if he says there is an error of 5 PPM on the 10v range that means something that should read 10.000000 instead reads 10.000050 at worst. (I think)

    Anyone else here have absolutely no idea what he's on about, and yet still watches all the videos? Like, I have no idea what this machine is actually for - why do you need a multimeter accurate to such precision?There's something strangely soothing about watching someone who clearly know what theyre talking about, even if I'd understand it just as well if he were actually speaking German

    I was curious if you'd take a look at the ADR1001. I'm happy to see that you are. I had the same question regarding the SMT package. Analog Devices takes it very seriously in the data sheet and recommends mounting in on an "island" that is cutout from the main board. I guess a FFC board would work as well. I can't way to see that video.

    15:37 - Beautiful, thats how a real "V8" should look like.
    You would have to adapt the SMD to DIL anyways i guess.
    Your sexy version with 2 L293D's is most likely 15 times more expensive though.. 😀 Which of course is in no relevance to the price of the full product.

    Probably the most complicated digital multimeter ever produced. I wonder how much Fluke simplified the design for the 8508A and the 8558A?
    There is a Ukrainian 8.5-digit meter but the chances of getting one aren't particularly good. And I wouldn't even give Transmille's offering a passing glance.

      @victorman2227 The ZIP Nauchpribor KM300. It is DC only but it has a built-in multifunction calibrator. Developed in the late 1990s AFAIK. Not much on them that I was able to find and that was years ago.

    • @victorman2227
      @victorman2227 День тому

      @@douro20 Thanks! I think ZIP Nauchpribor is from Krasnodar so its Russian. The website and the manual says that it's based on inductive voltage dividers so might be more of a voltage comparator (differential voltmeter) than a multimeter. I'm lucky to have a R3003 voltage comparator which is similar but manually operated.
