What you choose to believe appears to be based upon an uninformed
opinion (unless you've personally tested and evaluated this meter, and
compared features,quality, and price with either a Fluke or a Tektronix
multimeter).

In order to formulate an informed opinion, rather than spewing forth an
uninformed opinion as you have, the make of this meter is XILE, and the
Model is XL830L.  It is not a Fluke or a Tektronix meter, nor is it's
price
that of a Fluke or a Tektronix multimeter.
