Multimeter DT-830A, DT-830B, DT-830D, DT-832, DT-838, DT-838C comparison

Some kind of simple comparison of these multimeters and what features they have.


Basic summary of the models

There seems to be 2 common top models, DT-832 with a 50Hz square wave generator and DT-838 that instead has a temperature sensor.

There is also DT-830D that is like DT-832, but only some has the 50Hz square wave generator.
