Review on Enhance Your Data Analysis with Fluke-289/FVF FlukeView Forms Combo Kit by Steven Ferguson

I'll spare you the usual, well-deserved praise from Fluke. This set is final. It works very well as a data logger, and of course as a DMM with all the bells and whistles. Also, I was just going through all the bells and whistles that came with it and noticed that it has what looks suspiciously like a TPAK hangar kit that sells for about $40 including a magnetic hangar which I attached was very interested. You can buy 289. and have a top quality Fluke DMM with excellent recording capabilities. But if you're interested in the latter, the FlukeView Forms PC app bundle is worth checking out. If you don't really care about PC recording and/or logging capabilities and you just want a really good DMM, then the Fluke 87 V is your best bet. I own both. By the way, the Fluke 179 is not weak at all, it has a min/max and an average and everything else. I have one of these too. If you can only afford a DMM look at the 289 and 87V models, if both are too expensive take a closer look at the Fluke 289 with FormsView software. I'm just lucky I mentioned all three meters. In conclusion, don't neglect the Fluke 179 if any of these guys are overpriced.

Pros
