Good morning and thanks to all our applicants -

I've collated your applications and they've been sent to Keysight for their consideration: I will inform everyone of their selections as soon as possible…

Wow! That's amazing. I seriously thought I wouldn't have a chance with this one!

I look forward to reviewing this, as with all RoadTests, many thanks for all your efforts doctorcdf in arranging…

What I do with most of my reviews is I place an initial review post in the road test and then add links to all the posts in T&M for example,

I state that the scores will be adjusted to reflect the current state of the review (They may improve or be down graded)

I have done this already over the week end for my U1461A review if your interested to see, I just need to move the actual blog post over to the T&M group as I had forgot and it is sitting as a default Road-test topic blog post right now

The main Review page acts as an anchor for the rest of the posts as well as using common tags to help find them

Hi Malcolm, I did similar with the Robox road test, to keep them together I gave them all the same tag and I also prefixed the name the same. I did actually create a dummy blog with my notes for the Roadtest review but that was because you can't save a draft for those.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Andy

Hi everybody, I have just put in my first blog post regarding this road-test located that Keysight U1461A Multimeter with Insulation testing

I am not going to create a full review until I finished my series of blog posts as I don't wish to provide a final score until complete.

If anybody is interested please let me know whether I should create a review page similar to a place holder but I was advised against that on a previous design challenge, not sure why though

Hello everyone, just to let you know that my U1461A has arrived and I will be starting my review shortly. I will make a series of ongoing blog videos and write-ups in the Test and Measurement group and will provide a final review on the road test site once have done all the blogs that I think will cover the meter.

yes, that is true, only because MOT beats DUT

Nothing beats a good MOT with carefully tuned magnetic ballasts for current limiting

Maybe our reviews might show you some new methods to test.

Congratulations to all the winners, I look forward to learning what this instrument is really used for, more than just the insulation rating on some wire
