Don't waste your money - this isn't a true RMS DMM

For those who care, the Klein MM700 measures AC current the same way the MM600 does, there's almost no difference between the devices, even the properties are almost the same. I learned this by measuring a 6-17kHz 5-40V signal (nothing out of the ordinary) on an oscilloscope with a Simpson Electric Co parallel DMM (professional piece of equipment from the 1980's) which now no longer works , has read. For example, the peak-to-peak amplitude measured on an oscilloscope is +/-10V peak-to-peak and a 20V AC range for a square wave and 14Vrms for a sine wave on a DMM. In the same fixture, Klein MM700 gives me 2.7V AC, what is it? It has many features that should boost my measurement confidence, but none of them give me anything close. This is a device that cannot be trusted. I want to immediately conduct appropriate tests to decide his fate. Compared to my 1980's Simpson DMM, the MM700 is an expensive version of a cheap dollar machine, cumbersome to use and very slow to boot up. But don't believe its price tag, just because it's expensive doesn't mean it's any good. Don't waste your money, buy something else.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Poorly designed
