Still, the 53132A is still quirky, it's user interface leaves a few things to desire. The Pendulum CNT-90 (some of you know it as Fluke PM6690) is a much smoother ride on the bench. Hell, I every other week I feel like taking the drive home just to pick the CNT-90 up and get back so I can work properly. Trouble is, the CNT-90 isn't lying around everywhere like the 53131A/53132A. It's a pitty, I wish more guys had it on the bench... The realtime plots and histograms is really helpfull in getting a feel of what is going on. Should be a must on everybodys bench...
