So, what makes the HP3458A so expensive?
Ummmm -- two more digits??
Given the difficulty of improving accuracy and precision by two
orders of magnitude over a 6-1/2 digit meter, it's surprising they
aren't $30k. The comparable Fluke is the 8508A, not the 8845 (which
is comparable to the HP 3456A). Another generally comparable meter
is the Keithly 2002. The Solartron/Schlumberger (and I think a third
vendor sold the same meter) 7081 is the value leader in 8-1/2 digit
meters, but in practice they are not in the same league as the
3458A/8508A/2002 meters.
Best regards,
