having to be tough and thin out kit....
this is super handy and I know I'm going to regret selling it...
this Bench meter can measure 4 channels at once, and can poll between them automatically, and do calculations on 2 channels e.g. delta X-Y or dB the 2 values etc.
it's super useful for checking things like offset voltage, and bias current at the same time, on both channels at once!
it can also do temperature on all channels and I have a new pack of thermocouples with it.
the printer is useful occasionally, or though I should warn the printer is not perfect, gets better with some use, so probably needs a bit of use and some care and it'll be 100% again.
this is in fantastic condition, with original manual, maths cards etc.. photos' of actual unit below.
asking £200 or offers?
It's really hard to price this, looking around there was one sold in the US for £350 no thermistors, printer not tested,
there is the multimeter this is based on at 200 Euro (although the single channel version is nothing special in my view)
some info from the web here:
By combining the attributes of a 4 1/2 digit multimeter, a thermometer, a 4-channel scanner, a printer, and a microprocessor, the 3467A was designed as a benchtop, stand-alone instrument, and a time-saver for the everyday design engineer.
Capable of handling a major part of the measurements required during the course of a typical electronic design effort, this self-sufficient instrument measures AC and DC voltages, resistance, and, with external thermistors, temperature. It has a four-channel scanner, a thermal printer for permanent records, and an internal timer that allows unattended measurements. The 3467A requires no external control or I/O, yet it can perform computations on measurement data under pushbutton control.
The nucleus of this instrument is a 4 1/2 digit, autoranging multimeter, basically similar to the HP Model 3466A Digital Multimeter. The printer is a compact, moving-head, dot-matrix, thermal printer similar to those used on the HP-91 and HP-97 Calculators. Scanning is by means of reed relays. A microprocessor provides the communication between the multimeter, scanner, timer, and printer.
Inclusion of a microprocessor allows math operations to be implemented. Among other things, these make it possible to linearize and convert readings of thermistor resistance measurements into readings of temperature in °F or °C. Other operations performed with the math functions involve the use of channel 4 as a reference, designated "Y." Any of the other three channels, designated "X," may then operate on the reference so measurement results can be presented in the most desired format.
