Digital camera reviews of Triplett 2030-C Pocket DMM

Digital camera Review: Very solid meter with wonderful support
Summary: 5 Stars

PROS:

The case: the plastic is thick ABS. I feel like it could stand up to a lot of abuse.

Display: even though smallish, the display is very clear with good contrast. 3 and 3/4 digits is more than typical for a low cost meter.

Features: In addition to the usual, this measures capacitance (albeit small range), frequency (from a few Hz up to 10kHz), and duty cycle. It is also autoranging in all features.

Firmware/Controls: Layout is simple and straight forward. Nothing stands out as annoying or unusual.

Support: I had a couple of questions about the frequency and duty cycle features. My emails were answered within 24 hours by a senior product designer who not only knew the product but did actual testing of my specific problem to find the answers.

CONS:

There are some quirks with frequency and duty cycle. I eventually discovered that the minimum voltage that can be tested is just shy of 5V. No problem, once you know. Also, the leads need be reversed from what you expect when measuring a unipolar DC signal. The frequency is extremely accurate; however, the duty cycle appears to be less accurate. I've manage to get anywhere from a 0-2% consistent offset under different test conditions; it's probably most useful for comparing apples to other apples - but this seems to be in line with the duty cycle accuracy of other brands of low cost meters, as well.

Calibration: voltage between 1-20 volts read just a hair too high. I fixed this by opening it and adjusting the upper trim pot. Resistance and frequency were spot on.

SUMMARY: Sturdy little pocket multimeter with all the standard features and more, backed by a company that cares about its product and customers.
