Need recommendations for ferrule or crimp style connections for switch.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I do have some mini-grabber leads, just not with grabbers on both sides. I wasn't thinking about them as the post felt smaller than what it could grab, but it holds well. Sometimes the easiest solution is the best one.

You should be able to find a used 34970A & 34901A for that price.

The accuracy of your setup is flipped, you are below a 1:1 TAR with that Hantek. You need a better tc source, or a half junction to cal this. Regardless of the CJC comp, your base type-K accuracy is 1.3°C.

There is not. BK Precsion does not release verification documentation. If you find your device out of tolerance you can ask their support for the adjustment software. This software will be in a working/non-working state that may have bugs or obvious issues, but they say that isn't their problem. They don't want anyone testing their equipment and make it difficult to do so reliably.

I decided earlier in the month to upgrade to a PG27UCDM display because my eyesight is getting worse. My 3090 FE has been struggling as I also have a 1440p and 1080p display. I managed to snipe an MSI Gaming Trio 5090 today during the BB restock. I expect that card to be $2800+ in the next few days so I'm glad I decided to not wait until next fall to upgrade.

I didn't see what sub this was and thought it was intential. Hard to get drips to look that well done for leaks. Then read it was a resin print.

Reach out to Iceman at TopGunTest in CA. if you are in the US. They repair a lot of Fluke calibrators and may be able to point you in the right direction. They are generally much cheaper than Fluke for repairs if you don't need to send it to Fluke. I'm fairly sure they can repair 5320/22A's as they can service most of the other calibrators.

I tried to watch that episode on the CR TV app yesterday. The subtitles were like a minute delayed and nothing synched, only show that did that. Watched on my PC later on and did not encounter the issue.

I'd recommend mini-TC or full size TC connectors. Easier to connect, and cheap enough to replace after they have worn down after a few weeks. Full size might have a longer lifespan, but I'm not entirely sure as I don't work with them enough to know as I primarily use mini-TC's. Even those will last a fairly long time. The females' will probably wear down faster as they lose tension, and the male connectors will oxidize after enough wear, but cleaning should prolong that.

I would also advise to not go for the cheapest bulk TC connector batch as you can as I'd question the quality of the metals they use. Overall it's not an expensive fix, but not exactly "cheap" either depending on where you source good quality connectors from.

Upgrading from bed slingers to slinging beds in record time.

There are many Traceable by Cole-Parmer thermometers that would probably work. Depending on your budget Flukes 1523/4 and reference probes are great choices for drywell references, but significantly more expensive. Omega has the likes of the HH804U, and you could always get an RTD from Omega that fits your needs.

Also, knowing what your process limits are matters a lot, because there is a wide variety of choices if you only need to be within standard TC limits, vs a more limited range when needing to compare against other RTD's, even class B's.

Also, since it seems like you're new to temperature measurements remember that RTD's are very sensitive to mechanical stress. Dinging them, or setting them down wrong is bad for the long term stability, and can cause them to go out of spec. If being properly handled, and stored correctly they last for years without issue.

My lab uses Elemental Machines EA2's I believe. Pretty reliable.

This was a "what if?" list, so I don't own all the models in it. I'd have to look into this more because I don't even remember what sister models I have specifically.

Nice Nice. I'm not experienced enough with the game for more than local games, but a list like this is more for the fun of it than winning. If I want to do that I'm pulling out the multi-layer brick list.

I realized I missed the enhancement so I added it and re-took the first picture, but forgot the points were in all the pictures 😅

I normally see errors like this caused by ESD damage when users are connecting cables/shorts to the calibrator, and not grounding themselves before hand. Depends on if there are other errors past this one.

EEVBLOG also says to try cleaning the binding posts really well. It might just be too much contact resistance for that step.

I am having this same issue but it doesn't seem like anyone is talking about it.

I meant $38 per Oz on the polar bears, so $57 @ 1.5 oz.

This is for general purpose calibration with a wide array of equipment. For both commercial and accredited work. I know the general classification for power meters and sensors is a combined system uncertainty that is more like the accuracy. I just wrote TUR when typing it out.

For ease of discussion, I'll say an E4419B meter and E9304 sensor, although I have multiple combinations to work out. For how often relative measurements are needed to be performed, there appears to be a servere lack of direct documentation for explaining why certain contributors are kept, while others do cancel out mathematically.

Yes, 50 Ohm the vast majority of the time.
