Nicely done, have been considering getting this specific test meter / scope (noticing you posted this exactly 2 yrs ago). Many thanks for the detailed application examples.
Mine arrived about 4 days ago but because I am currently (currently haha) in hospital I've not had a chance to play with it. I have been searching for reviews and found this which I found informative. I basically only use meters and digital test leads for automotive applications and also some mains work - our mains is 240VAC @ 50Hz.. The thing I have not seen yet is the quality of the finished product - is it cheap and nasty plastic or is it more substantial? And that headache inducing piezo buzzer! What the deuce?!!!
Great video because I bought this Multimeter yesterday, but your video is in parts too fuzzy to watch. I hope you will use another camera in future videos.
Is this good for testing amps clipping point ? I can play 40hz sine waves but i would also wanna test at 1000hz too. Will this meter/oscil combo work for me or should i get an old used oscilloscope ?
Yes, it works fine at 40hz and 1khz for setting amp gains. Just be sure you use the auto mode when displaying the wave or you will get what this dude did.
It's an AC reading. It can easily pick up 14 milivolts from the cables around the room. Wouldn't worry about it. And even if it is a fault on the meter's end, that's about 1% of a volt, at a low range I would be fine with it with a meter from this price range. Either way, shorting the probes pulls it to dead zero most of the times
Heheheh, yep! I've more meters than stuff to measure. ;-) My current (no pun intended) goto DMM is a Fluke 87. Not exactly a VTVM, but at 50 megohm per volt, a handy, rugged compromise. It truly amazes me how far instrumentation has progressed in so short a time. And so relatively inexpensive (and cheap...) The dream of Dick Tracy's "Two-way wrist TV" is now reality. Kids everywhere have 'em. So does metrology now have such nifty (and useful) gimmick.
I'm in need of a new DVOM as my old one has failed so I'm thinking of this one as it'll be mainly used for auto electrical testing. It looks like it'll be great for 12v and 5v circuits showing PWM wave forms etc. Thanks for the video 👍
Rather nifty DDM! That *BEEP* though... rough upon the hearing. I'd open her up and put some tape over the sounder; still hear it, but not brain blasting loud. Also: that "oL" or "o.L" indicates that the signal input to it is out-of-range... "overload".
You can deactivate the beeping, by holding the sele button for 2 seconds when starting the meter and again for activateing it. 😊 also the automatic sleep mode, by holding the auto button again for 2 seconds when starting the multimeter and the same for activating it again.
you save my ass w/this video because i was ready to buy this meter but by watching this video and see that waveform from this meter i change mind .thanks for the ass saver video
Can't expect much of an Oscilloscope for $60! For a budget Volt/Scope meter, this should work perfectly for anyone at this price point!

How do you calibrate? Mine is out by .15 volts dc and there is no pot to adjust.
Try clicking the "auto" button to rescale when you change the frequency. Instructions are useful to read.
Do you think this o-scope will work good in the automotive world, like setting gains on an amplifier or seeing the signal from a 5v crank sensor?
@@MJBclassics yes, I got one months ago, and it works great surprisingly.
@@andrewziegler2608 thanks. I'll order one.

o.L is "OVER LIMIT". And you can zoom in and out on the waveforms FYI
This is the first of your videos I've seen, and you've got a new subscriber.
1:39 why it showing some values without connecting?

Is ther a download for a complete manual of all functions?
Which one is correct? Ah, that is the question of the ages.
Does anyone really know what time it is?
if I didn't have so many meters I'd probably buy one, good review , seems like a decent all-purpose meter with the few little extras
I remember when my little 1000 ohm/volt multimeter was my ticket to adventure.
I still have a Dick Smith Q-1024 indicating meter I bought in 1978. Still works too. That was 1K per volt too.
Heheheh, yep! I've more meters than stuff to measure. ;-)

I've long thought of OL as Over Limit
Everything works great!
Hello Jim. It's possible with this device mesure dirty electricty? Thank you for your good channel
My English is not very good, some things of the video I did not understand, in your opinion it is worth the purchase for the price that it has?
Rather nifty DDM!

Also: that "oL" or "o.L" indicates that the signal input to it is out-of-range... "overload".
It needs to calm down. o.L might stand for over-loud. I like the screen. It might be a heavy draw on the batteries. Auto-off after 15 minutes.
Hello Jim really enjoy your video's very educational I learned a lot from watching
Thanks!

can it used for measuring 400vac and look graph .?
you save my ass w/this video because i was ready to buy this meter but by watching this video and see that waveform from this meter i change mind .thanks for the ass saver video
U didn’t adjust the scale on the multimeter,that’s why it’s not displaying correctly.just press that Auto button and u should be good to go.
New model MDS8207 is 40 MHZ bandwidth.
Cheers.
Nice Review thanks
Great review. This settles it for me.
Osciloscopio malo, multímetro de 20 euros = chatarra china.
Porque no dices cuánto duran las pilas.
