Scopes and multimeters are two very different things. You will get a good multimeter starting at around 200$. However, a good scope will cost you a few grand, at least.

What does a 200 dollar multimeter have that a 20 multimeter doesn't?

A good old scope costs less. That said, a good old scope will not be a good multimeter.

If you need ESR, you probably want a bridge meter, not a multimeter anyway.

I'm just starting out in Comp. E.
What seperates a $200 multimeter from the $10 one I'm using right now?

So... Nothing? I'm talking in terms of features. Obviously I'd hope at 10x+ it would be more precise accurate etc etc

OP here. No seriously,, I need ESR to determine if capacitor is in spec, and DMM stuff to test diodes, resistors, and circuit status, short, bad solder joints.

>>51018260
safety, also category ratings- for mains work, and instant continuity alert.

I used the fluke 87 like 14 years ago. Its time for fluke to add ESR.

Don't they measure a wider range of values and are more accurate?
