User questions & answers

Question:	Is the trend chart time ajustable? Thanks
Answer:	Hello. Thank you for writing in. Yes. You can adjust the trend chart time scale. NOTE: Changing the scale will reset data collection, so it is better to set to the longest timescale you expect to see. If you have additional questions, please write us at [email protected]. - Jason, SIGLENT NA
Question:	Since the dmm will be used in the us, i switched the slide switch to correct voltage of 110 vac. there are two 250 v fuses. should i change them also
Answer:	Hello. The rear panel switch is the only change necessary for usage at 110V. - Jason, SIGLENT NA
Question:	Does this meter give true rms readings, and is it accurate through 20khz
Answer:	Yes, up to 100 KHz according to the datasheet. Up to 100Hz is +/-2%, then up to 100KHz better. http://www.siglentamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/dlm_uploads/2017/10/SDM3045X_Datasheet_DM0545_E01A.pdf
Question:	is it possible to save a screen shot on the pc with software? Helpful if you want to share a screen shot
Answer:	Yes. SIGLENT DMMs come with EasyDMM software that enable screenshots and basic data logging capabilities. You can learn more on the SIGLENT website here: https://siglentna.com/operating-tip/easydmm-first-use/ - Jason, SIGLENT North America

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it have both auto and manual range adjustment
Answer:	Its been a while since ive used it, but i beleve it does.
Question:	what is the difference between the 3058 and 3058E
Answer:	The 3058 has additional connectivity options than the 3058E. It has an internet and a GPIB connection. The core multimeter is otherwise the same.
Question:	Does this product come with a calibration certificate and report
Answer:	It was a long time sense I got it but I do believe that it came with a factory test saying what the voltage limits were and where it measured and with what measuring standard they used.
Question:	can we collect data to a computer from this multimeter? what software is available for this purpose
Answer:	Yes this is possible. I have the DM3058E. I have it connected to my Windows PC with a USB cable. Rigol provides software called "Ultra Sigma" which communicates with the instrument. They also provide a programming guide available on their website. It is not yet clear to me how to set it up to make automated measurements but based on the software it looks like that is also possible.

Question:	Is this a true RMS meter also
Answer:	NO it's not an true RMS meter.
Question:	What is the ac current range
Answer:	range for AC Current is 1 microamp, 10 microamps, 0.1 millamp and 10 milliamps
Question:	Hi, what voltage does this guy need
Answer:	Standard 110 volt household power or 6 C cell batteries. Nice unit but be aware that it is a very large unit - see dimensions on Amazon.

User questions & answers

Question:	How do I return for repair under warranty
Answer:	After the Amazon return policy has expired, your local SIGLENT office will be responsible for any warranty repairs. You can write [email protected] with any additional questions. - Jason, SIGLENT North America
Question:	What's involved in calibrating these things ourselves? Do we provide a precision reference and push a button
Answer:	Mine came with a certificate of calibration done with a fluke product. No it doesn't come with a push button calibration method.
Question:	What can i do with the sdm3055 what i cannot do with the sdm3045x
Answer:	Hello. Thank you for writing. The differences between the SDM3045X and the SDM3055 are basically the measurement accuracy and resolution. The SDM3055 is more sensitive and more accurate, which can be useful when diagnosing small differences between "good" and "bad" circuit elements or components. The basic measurement capabilities are identical. - Jason, SIGLENT North America
Question:	on the photo i see that it is sdm3055X-e is it really so ? And what is the difference between the orig sdm3055 without X and E
Answer:	Hello. Thank you for writing in. I am not sure what picture you are referring to. SIGLENT does manufacture an SDM3055X and X-E, but they are not authorized for sale in North America. - Jason, SIGLENT North America

User questions & answers

Question:	Range of uf
Answer:	From Instruction Manual Pg. 4, "Electrical Specs": Capacitance (Auto-Ranging) 40.00 nF - 4000uF. Tip: Type "Klein MM700" into Google and choose Klein's website to see all the Spec's for the MM700.
Question:	Will it check dc amperage
Answer:	Yes. The meter will ALWAYS give you a LEADS warning if you switch to current measurement. This is to remind you that you need to relocate the red lead to one of the current jacks. Unless you are sure you are measuring micoamps or milliamps, start with the 10A jack.
Question:	Does this dmm have a function for testing transistor hfe? i do not see it so i assume no
Answer:	You assume correctly. There is no dedicated transistor test function on this meter.
