I am looking for an inexpensive frequency/cycle meter. Has anyone used this feature and how accurate was it?

I have not had any problems with the meter, I am not sure what you are wanting to check the frequency of, but I use it on HVAC equipment and check frequency once in a while and it works for checking that.

I find that this meter works great and is accurate for my indoor and outdoor shoots. It measures only the flash and not ambient. It does have its quirks, if I need to meter lower power then f4, the meter seems to be not sensitive enough to get a proper reading. So I have to swing it a bit. With higher flash power as in f8 or f11 mine is very accurate. Hey its what we get for being cheap! We could saved a hundred more bucks and got a very decent meter, but this one does work for me. Try maby metering for the ambient with your camera and then meter the flash. Dont know if this helps but mabe it will be usefull to you.

I have used it about a dozen times. When I go, it starts recording trip tim/avg speed/distance, etc... When I stop, it seems to stop also(avg speed/trip time) etc... I am very pleased with it, easy to read, fairly easy to set up, this is my first bike computer.

I would have no problem with this meter doing that. I use it all the time to check lighting ratios. Just hold down the trigger and read away. You'll have to do the math old school but it'll work.

I don't know from personal testing of that feature, but the unit has been accurate for the other things I've used it for. Klein has a good rep for quality for the price. A Simpson 260 analog/digital Multi-Meter like I used in the Navy will do the job too, but at ten times the price. Sorry for the snarky reply, I've just spent (4) hours trying to straighten out my computer. If Klein is not what you need, try Fluke. It's more expensive (about $120.00), but probably closer in accuracy. I guess it's all about how fine you need to measure the resistance. If you're looking for super accurate stuff, there are specialized measuring instruments out there just for that application. I hope this helps. Mike

I have this unit and you can put in any frequency you want I love mine i use it camping all summer long to track the weather. I hope this help.

Pretty sure it will not work for net metering. you might try the ted 1001. This will go both positive and negative for energy readings.

You don't. I just know my dial pretty well. It starts at low frequencies all the way counter clockwise and then you turn the dial clockwise and go up in frequency. It will tune in pretty accurate.

wow, I am not 100% sure if they use the same frequency, as I only have the one. sorry

The meter displays in dBC, frequency range of 31.5Hz-8KHz. Meter works great. Nice compact design.

I wonder what do you mean by noisy..Any way, this timer will work for your 2 daily cycles. However, it does make noise for a fraction of a second only when changing from on to off, and vice versa.

I have the same problem. I can sometimes adjust the transmitter power to get around it. It's a good case of "you get what you pay for." It's a cheap meter--cheaply made.

I have no other device to compare it with so I have no idea of it's accuracy. We use it for comparitive purposes so for that it's useful. The "manual" is very tiny page, with a tiny chart for weighting and frankly I've misplaced it. Other than that, there is little info. However it does seem very well made. I has the feel of a Fluke multimeter.

The meter only has a guage that reads, 0 to 2000 on top and 1 to 10 on the bottom of the line...I only paid less than $4.00 for the meter including shipping from China... It has saved me from over watering. The meter seems to be working ok but I don't know how accurate it is... For a cost of less than $5.00 it can't be too percise...

Seems to be accurate. Sampling time is several times per second. No idea about how reliable, when I was on the O2 the reading was higher than when I was not.

i use this instrument in my auto repair shop. i find the volt/ohm/ampere function very useful. i don't know what you mean by time frame but you can measure AC voltage and it shows freq and duty cycle. I can also look at the Oxygen sensor output signal thru the OBD connection. i hope this answers your question.

I haven't had the occasion to use it on tone mode. I have only used it so far to bench test newly made up cables and to check problem ones with the light tree. Has been spot on so far. Much quicker than metering!
