anyone use this expensive tool $2500?

If so why it is better than a multimeter? Would you recommend it?

Peace, Rolland

    Its a hand held curve tracer

    You plug in the panel and it measure the VI curve from open circuit to short circuit

    With a DVM, you need an external load to make measurements
