I bought a $50 microcontroller based DMM (much better than "dumb" dmms) from circuit specialists forever ago here: http://circuitspecialists.com/prod.itml/icOid

I bought a $50 microcontroller based DMM (much better than "dumb" dmms) from circuit specialists forever ago here: http://circuitspecialists.com/prod.itml/icOid/9455 http://circuitspecialists.com/prod.itml/icOid/9455 It works really good. Comparable to fluke handhelds but not in the same league as the fluke 4/5 digit bench DMMs. Keithley stuff is great too, more science based though. I've used everything from their picoammeters to their general purpose DMMs.
