Keysight U1272A & U1273AX, both industrial Handheld DMM silently when discontinued this summer of 2024.

I did start finding withing EU sellers, notes and messages as: no longer in stock.
And or buy as long Keysight stock last.
Then found at another EU seller the discontinued note.   :o

Its now a fact, that Keysight started to exterminate Orange DMM series, and relative accessories.
Just few months back, they discontinued all Bluetooth accessories for the Agilent / Keysight Orange series.

Now they silently discontinuing U127x DMM series.

At the other side of the pond, U127x DMM series this still appears in stock at major sellers, but this is because they hold last stock of these, and it should be sold, before consumers gain awareness that discontinued process has began.  :P     

Keysight did something crazy in the past five years,  suddenly the retail price of U1272A this it began double.
Keysight also did public declarations / notes, that the company will offer support only at business customers, and that it excludes hobbyist.
Keysight changed overnight their business strategy, it become hostile to retail customers, and this explains of why their HH multimeter sales sunk.

Its a fact, that U1272A this is extremely superior HH DMM compared to all FLUKE Products.
Its has in software conversion, when in use with external clamp probe, the LCD screen display Ampere.
Data logging with Bluetooth modules and or wired USB accessory.   
Nice and Free Data logging software.
Smart added measuring features too.
Only negative of it, it does slowdown it measuring rate at dual display modes.

To be honest, over the years I thought that other competitors will try to make a better U1272A ( faster internals, plus more features).
But FLUKE China fall in to sleep for a decade, and no one else either did go ahead in product design.

In other words, U1272A it is now classified as unique design at the 1/4 of our century, no actual replacement exist, even so it were discontinued.

Keysight Handheld Meter Logger
software this is now removed too from their  U1270 products page.
While Europe still enjoy last days of summer vacations, Keysight demolition team takes down all relative product support webpages  :P

But it appears to be a separate web link,  that you may still get it, if you agree to leave your contact data to Keysight.
