TA-0443: TheNEW Siglent SDM4065A 6.5 Digits Multimeter

Very good! A pity to have a very high price in Brazil, I'll go with Sdm3055 that fits my budget😪

Sweet

The big readout is very nice of course. However the very small menu at the bottom and the size of the 'dual' display are usability issues. That should be easily fixable with a software update, but will it happen?
The specs are interesting, somewhat mid-range compared to other 6.5 meters. Probably more than enough for the vast majority of use cases. While Siglent's reputation is growing, it is currently not yet as recognised as Keysight or Keithley. Very long term stability has not yet been established. Keeping all this in mind, the price is difficult to justify.

Would you test how 'fast' it is in real world application? For example, is it capable to accurately measure current consumption of an IoT device when it wakes up from sleep.

Przypomina mi Keithley Pozdrawiam

Not sure about the colour scheme for the front panel and lcd colours (digits). Can the text colour be changed via the settings?

That display looks excellent and i bet it is great on the eyes. I think the grey colour scheme is modern too. Thanks Tony

Looks like they are moving away from the old Rigol style and trying to aim more at the heavy professional user. Dual measurement function was interesting, looks like the current was available at the same time as the voltage. Thanks for the overview of the meter, see how long it take to become available in the UK.

You and Kerry Wong are responsible for emptying my bank account ❤

When will the teardown come

Boot time Tony ? Played with one for a short while last August when visiting HQ....IIRC boot time was much the same as SDM3000 models.....didn't take too much notice.

Not at least a cursory look at the insides?

Very nice, but a pity they didn't put rear terminals back on it. So useful on the older 34401A :)

Eeewwww, they made it look like a Keithly/Keysight!

They have it shown on the Chinese site, but not SiglentNA yet. I'm wondering when release is. The price to feature ratio looks very good. As with any new product the one thing we can't really know is long-term stability, but that unknown is a normal issue.

Good review and nice meter.

Hello!
SDM4000 also have a Digitzer mode..
Check in Acquire menu..

I hope Siglent will allow you to make teardown. Very interestig, what ADC and what reference they used here

And now I have a dilemma whether to buy 3065 or something. Or I'll stick with the Schlumberger 7062, it takes 4 hours to heat up, but it's 4 times bigger than the Sigs. How about the measurement functions of temperature sensors (Pt100, thermocouples, NTC)? I wonder what the price will be in Poland?

Hello, pour le référencement 👍

Fantastic meter very good👍🏻💯

Thank you Siglent, but no. Just give me physical buttons for switching modes.

The hantek hdm3065 "keysight clone" is excellent and should be considered a competitor @ 600€. I've had mine for 6 months. Very accurate and stable. SDG electronics rates highly.

I own the 3065 and yes, I also experience the temperature warm-up issue. However, it meets my needs and not yet time (or funds) to upgrade...but tempting!

De continuity test threshold setting heb je weleens vaker gezien hoor, denk aan een €150 Owon 😀

👍

Excellent review Tony - thanks!!

You can really see that display. Thanks Tony

What brand voltage reference were you using in the video? Thanks!

Hey Tony! Wow, dit is me wel een fraaie jongen. Gelukkig heb ik geen gear acquisition syndrome 😉Ik vond je review uitstekend, heel professioneel gedaan. Wel fenomenaal dat er voor die prijs zo super nauwkeurige meters gemaakt kunnen worden. Zouden ze een jaar of 10-20 terug nog niet gedacht hebben.

I wonder if I can get the non-SC version and add the card later.

Very nice meter. I like the look of it, not sure why there's people complaining about it! I am glad to see the lower cost brands competing with the very expensive Flukes, Keithleys etc.

nice meter

Industrial use only.

How`s small and large AC current? While we are measuring small AC currents, how is NOT injecting seven shades of mains coupled noise into the measuring circuit (currently getting a headache trying to cal some 10uA AC analog meters, the 34401 just gives up on such :) ...)? Do we get enough precision at 5 amps AC to calibrate class 0.1/0.2 current transformers? Choice of RMS, peak, average?

Besteld via link !

Patiently waiting for Siglent North America to announce this model.

I wonder what kind of things are under the hood

Gear Acquisition Syndrome hits and it's all your fault 🙂 Great review, Tony. You always have all the nice stuff.
