Hi Jan [mention:acaf6a9338de4eef8f6717d5561ed01d:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] ,

That's very helpful! Thanks.

This is what I mentioned last few days about testing and review as well.

Thanks also for your link to your blogs I've read a bit.

Yes, that's it - high quality of an report.

I've bookmarked your blog because this is what we need, helpful information in details.

As well the manufacturers can do something with this information.

Best Regards

Gerald

That is cool - how does it really work in practice? I (think) I like that it ignores measurements of zero, so it doesn't record every time you pull the probes off to move to a new measurement point... UNLESS recording zero would be beneficial...

Not a criticism of the approach they took, since they are opening up tremendous opportunities with the API (and maybe both users and the Tektronix engineers are each still learning its full potential and real-world uses in a multimeter), but I hope their next-generation goes fully containerised apps, so that if they crash, they are isolated. It's already an extremely nice product from what I can see so far.

An update on the instability: the Apps API is not published yet, it's currently stable for the standard apps. Keithley plans to publish the API later this year - I expect together with a firmware update that stabilises that API.

I'm cool with that. In it's standard form the meter is stable - never misses a beat.
