[Techtoolslist] Fluke 9010 vs 9100

[Andrew Welburn]

  If you're just interested in running tests on arcade hardware to find 
basic faults then the 9010 + FIDE is ok, you're hardly ever likely to 
tax that setup.

  If you want to create guided fault analysis, or want to dig deeper 
than the length the CPU can see on a board, then you can use a 9100 with 
is many accessories and its custom troubleshooting language.

  A read of the plethora of the 9100 manuals (on the TTL FTP) will show 
you what the 9100 can do, which - for most arcade stuff, is way more 
than most hobbyists need.

  9010 stuff is common and scripts are shared, there's already lots of 
stuff out there and of course the ever useful FIDE with lots of script 
examples to get you jumping right in. The 9100 doesn't work like the 
9010, it was ten times as expensive, ten times rarer, and by its very 
nature, its not easy to share programs from. The user base is much 
smaller too, and the learning curve on the programming language is much 
greater.
