Didier
I would agree generally with your remarks ref. the 34578A and the 3456A, I have both, but more recently I have acquired a Keithley 2015 which I guess is more in keeping with the 3478A, but with a fluorescent display, this is a very nice instrument to use, and is currently being sold in considerable numbers having been used by the 'mobile 'phone industry for its distortion measuring ability, the one I have was cal'd in 2009 - - I would be interested to hear from any other users.
regards
Roy P

That is not completely true. The HP3456A has a full scale of 1,100,000 compared to the HP3478A's 300,000
Not quite an order of magnitude.
I have both and while the display is not always visible, particularly in dim light, I like the smaller size and quiet operation of the HP3478A compared to the HP3456A. When the better specs (on paper) of the HP3456A are not absolutely needed, the HP3478A is a fine bench meter.

A 6.5 or better will find a good home and be appreciated in your lab,
Joe.  Many orphans need homes always appear on eBay, particularly the
top line of its day HPs: 3455a, 3456a, and 3457a.

There is a lot of discussion on the pros and cons of each throughout
the archives, but any will be an order of magnitude better than the 5.5
digit.

Yes, I was thinking about getting a better DMM.
