The UPS man brought me a pile of new toys last week.
Got myself a Fluke 287 "True RMS" voltmeter, which so far I think I'm gonna like a lot but I need more time to play with it and learn all of it's features.

I also got a Aven "Digital Mighty Scope", in hopes that it would help me see some of those SMD parts I work with. It's a neat item. The software is a little quirky but it's OK. I think it will be a handy tool. Even with a 10x loupe it's tough for me to read the numbers on a 0603 resistor, but the mighty scope makes it REAL easy. Here's a screen shot of the thing at near max magnification.

You can sure see those tiny little solder balls around the pins. That board needs a good scrubbing! The resistor in the lower right corner is 0603 and I can actually read the value. Woohoo!
Kind of pricey at nearly $200 but I think it'll be a handy tool.

The 3rd item is my new B&K 2534 O-scope.
I'm afraid I'm not very happy about it so far, but in the spirit of fairness I'm going to contact B&K and give them a chance to redeem themselves before I post my review. We'll see how it goes.

Mmm. my work bench has that New Equipment Smell. I love it.
