Fluke 805ES External Vibration Sensor for the 805 Vibration Meter

Excellent performance, instrument is best for field operation.

Technically it is excellent equipment - useful, accurate, providing sufficient information. The firmware, however, still needs some improvements. First of all, I find it at least annoying to attach a type to the whole 1st level ID. Quite often you would like to check whole production lines, or complicated machines with multiple motor types. The current design makes such measures at least annoying. I also find it annoying, that whenever you modify the name / type of the first level ID, all data within it is lost. Fluke may have put more effort here. Also when you wish to delete a second level ID, you cannot. You can only delete the whole group. Fluke missed that option too. Finally there could be some basic software to edit all settings and the database from PC level. It is often annoying to input the whole database through the device. To sum up, technically it is a good device, but the interface is poor.
