content: SOLD.Thanks.I have a new-in-boxAgilent (cough, Keysight) U1273A handheld digital multimeterfor sale.This meter has a 4.5 digit (33000 count) dot-matrix OLED display, and is the 2nd generation with much improved battery life (respectable 60 hours using 4 AAA's).This meter was manufactured andcalibrated April 2014, and comes with cal certificate with full data(actual reading/error on every range of every function). I won't repeat Agilent's marketing here, you can click the link above for features and specs galore. It is specified for 0.05% +2 digit basic DCV accuracy; the included calibration data shows roughly an order of magnitude better actual accuracy. Agilent has marked this with safety ratings of Cat IV 600V and Cat III 1000V.I received this as a promotional item, but I already have a good handheld meter and quite literally a stack of bench meters. This is a great meter that I would love to own, but in the end I decided that I would not have spent the money to buy it; other items are higher on my wanted list, so I am going to sell it and use the money to make a dent in my list.Agilent website price is $404.00 USD. AskingUSD$300 to USAorCAD$325 to Canada, price includes shipping and double-boxing. Slightly more shipped elsewhere; inquire if seriously interested. This isNEW in box, in pristine condition with no scuffs or scratches. Includes the following accessories: probes, batteries, manuals, NIST Traceable calibration certificate (with full data). I will also include a newsoft carrying case (U1174A)free. I will offer a 10 day money back guarantee that this is as described and working. Any other warranty is between you and Agilent.I also have available, also new-in-box, abluetooth adapter U1177A. This snaps onto the back of this meter (and others), and lets you wirelessly control and log data with a PC, Android,or Apple iOS* device. Retail $50, asking $30 (with meter only).p.s. I also have aU1213A Clamp meter for sale.Tentatively Sold*The U1177A is not specifically listed as iOS compatible. The long-range U1117A is.

content: I've been eyeing this multimeter and BT module lately.Just a FYI for potential buyers, the 1177A supportsAndroid only. To get it working on Apple (and Android), you need the confusingly similarly named 1117A (which costs twice as much, doh!). The above module will be fine for Android users, and Apple users can still buy the meter and hopefully someone else can snap up the dongle.Good luck on the sale

content: Quote from: hlokk on August 18, 2014, 08:18:47 amI find it unlikely that the U1177A does not work on Apple iOS, more likely that the iOS app wasn't available when they wrote the documentation. It is after all just a Bluetooth-to-UART adapter. However, I can't test it as I don't have any iOS devices, so I clarified my ad.I have also sent shipping quotes to the interested international buyers.

content: I was quite surprised too (and disappointed as its an extra $50 for the dual one). My guess is Apple are a bit cagey about their bluetooth and is a bit locked down/non-standard and necessitates a hardware change to a different chip or maybe a single extra toggle bit on the programming or something silly.Either way, should def work with Android, and the multimeter will still work on its own
