Whether to check or carry-on instrumentation must also depend on the type of battery inside the instrument. Aren’t lithium-ions a no-go in the cargo hold?

However, I just barely squeaked through entrance customs last week, there was a $2000 limit for bringing equipment into country. Check and make sure that you won't have to pay customs taxes or get your meters yanked at customs!

Fortunately it was a tiny airport and my checked bags were right outside on the tarmac, so the nice Air Canada lady went out and put the probes in. So now I check the probes, and carry on the meter.
