(More customer reviews)Awesome meter if you want to sample at rates as fast as 1 sample per second (but that's the limit at the low end). With an optional current probe you can read amps as well. It comes with a thermocouple to measure temp. The software is pretty good and you can dump the data to a csv file. It has reports and they are ok. My R61E thinkpad laptop will not read the cd's but I faked it out by mapping it to another DVD on another pc on my network and installed it from there. Worked fine. The only thing that's missing (of course) is power measurements. For that you gotta cough up a whole lot more moola to get the vector multiplier function (IxV) found in the 43B power quality meter. I'm sure itching for one of those too but the bucks are holding me back right now. The 289 sips batteries and has no capability to be powered from 120vac though it can run about a week straight on the 6 AA batteries that powers it. Snag a 44 pack of double A's from a retailer on the cheap and your set for a while. I wish the 43B could sip batteries but it's only good for 4-6 hrs on batteries. I guess the 43B sucks the heavy juice to do all the great stuff it does. I've worked as an industrial electrician for 10 years and a power systems electrical engineer for the past 27 years (professional engineering registration in CA and WA states)(yep I'm a gray hair) and I've worked in a variety of industrial, electronic and power environments and have used a pile of electrical test equipment. All in all I'm very happy I bought this meter and after having it now for about 4 weeks I must say I'd run out and buy it again tomorrow in a heartbeat. So you know, I'm not employed by Fluke and do not own any of their stock. They just did this right and I'm giving them the kudos they deserve for this great product.
