Looking for a logger.

[electrofelon]

Looking for a logger. Something more affordable, probably used. Probably dont want to spend over 2k. Only need mostly basic functionality, like max current, max demand. But would also like some basic power quality abilities like being able to spot voltage dips or spikes.

Fluke 1735s are readily available in that price range. Downside is its gunna be 20 years old or so, worried it could be buggy and slow like i have seen with older electronics. Also been seeing extech 382100. Any thoughts on either of these or other recommendations?

I have a EKM omnimeter setup which is great, for max demand, but downside is it needs a internet connection which can be a hassle and it only reads once a minute so not good for looking for voltage dips and such.

My Fluke 43B is at least 30 years old. Graphic display is horrible compared to todays but adequate for what I needed. Can’t say any more than that. Good product at the time.

I do have an older amprobe, circa mid 90's i think. It freezes up sometimes and the amount of memory blows.

The Fluke 41b and 43b were great products, especially for the '90s; I spent some happy time with a 41b rejecting UPSs for having a nasty output waveform.

You can get an AEMC or Electrocorder for just over $2k new. Or PCE has some. (I haven't yet used any of those, but am interested in what folks come up with.)
