      around 100$ if you build it yourself apparently

      but it has some unique features, the display is wirelessly connected to the body and removable

      it has serial console so you can connect it to a computer and log the measurements

      it has a module bay, so you can make a module with a custom connector to measure its pins

      it can measure current and voltage at the same time

      nothing else stood out to me

        I mean that depends a lot on how good of a multimeter it is. If you’re comparing it to a fluke then it’d be hard for it to even remotely occupy the same price bracket

        But thats also an incredibly nice professional tool

      Thats gonna depend a lot on how nice of a multimeter you’re comparing it to. Its almost undoubtedly gonna be massively cheaper than like a ‘fluke’, but that’s a really high quality professional tool. They’re kinda the bar for quality in multimeters
