anyone use this expensive tool $2500?

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

    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

    thanks I read the spec sheet, just wondering if anyone has any real world expereince with it. we all know sometimes reality puts a damper on a spec sheet.
