I use this meter daily on one of my benches. I bought the Owon as I already had a heavy investment on my primary bench with a Siglent bench DMM. The Owon coupled with good probes like the Probemaster 8000 series, it's perfection! My only complaint with the Owon that it has trouble with frequency measurements under 1500hz. Great videos on this channel. Sub'd!
Yes Rick, I use it almost daily. It is off just a little at on the 5ma scale but it’s not enough it bothers me for a cheap throw around meter. My fluke handheld is dead on at 5ma so I know the vmm1 is working correctly. It’s not a high end meter but I love having a very small bench meter handy all the time. It also interfaces to my computer and allows me to use my test cell I built with it to record readings as I test at different temps/frequencies/currents. This is something my handhelds can’t do. You will see this in those videos where I do component testing. For the price it’s worth it.
Positive probes wrong hence why you’re reading overload I’ve got this meter it’s awesome I use it all the time for electronics I wonder if it’ll be fine for my hv dc
Yea, that's what I said in the video when I realized. I wish I could say it was the first time I have done that but it is not. I would worry about using it on over 600V but for my knock around bench meter it's fine. The clamps for the probes are garbage but the probes, while not the best I have used, are not bad. I use another set of cables for it when I need the clips. And I have other meters if I need high voltage. I like that I was able to add it into my DIY testing and logging software over USB.

Thanks so very much for the sub! I use mine almost daily. Great bench beat around meter in my opinion.
Hey, new sub here. Going through your videos now. Fellow ham..looking forward to seeing the growth of this channel.
Thanks for the sub! I hope you find my content interesting.
Hey RJ, Are you still using this meter? Pros, Cons, is there any adjustment for that one current scale a bit off? Thanks RR
