It's very quiet here at the moment. Where is everyone? You can't be on holiday. 
There was activity though. If you're an OpAmp aficionado, the week-end was a paradise:
I‘m busy laying out a PCB for a prototype for that instrument control board Jan has linked to. Also waiting for delivery of a new DMM and PSU (slightly early birthday present). And barbecuing like an Aussie!
I Have a fair bit of gardening to do but it’s way too hot for digging so that’s on hold.

The DMM6500 is very nice and good value (and has more features) compared with the Keysight 3446x range - however I find that my DMM6500 has migrated to the temperature test rig corner and its the 34465 that gets used every day !
You do pay half as much again for the approaching the same features on the Keysight, but the ergonomics are just so much nicer (this may be a personal thing.)

I managed to become fluent with the DMM6x touch screen interface. The fingers fly over the LCD.
In particular when setting it up for a low noise DC V or I measurement or to take a set of samples to work with the statistics , the muscle memory has kicked in.
