Not necessarily. If the meter is designed for and capable of the accuracy, then yes, but there are plenty that just aren’t, despite their display count. And if you mod the firmware on the 210E to a higher count, that won’t improve its accuracy at all.
Of course “not necessarily,” as there are always differences between the accuracy of various meters overall. I started out by saying that a 6000 count meter CAN be more accurate than a 2000 count meter. I’ll be very clear now: all other things being equal with the multimeters, a 6000 count meter will allow for more accuracy then a 2000 count meter when taking measurements in the circumstances I described in my post, above. That is demonstrated just by doing the simple math.
The chart comparing the two meters shows the error rates of the two meters taking various measurements. That isn’t what I was talking about making a difference in the results you get with the two different meters. What I was talking about was not the error rate of measurements with different meters - which is the manufacturers’ way of determining “accuracy.” If you use the accuracy (error rate) information provided by the multimeter manufacturers, you can see the point I was making.
An “accuracy” of 0.5% + 3 digits means that a meter operating according to its operating specifications will produce a value that is 0.5% on either side of the true value, plus or minus 3 of the least significant digits. Applying that error rate to the measurements of a 2000 count meter and a 6000 count meter brings results that prove my point - the difference in resolution of the two meters will result in measurements that are closer to the true value (on average) for the 6000 count meter in the circumstances I mentioned in my first post, above, all other things about the two meters being equal.
That is the result of working with more digits with the 6000 count meter in those circumstances - it is simple math. Quibbles about the difference between “accuracy” and “resolution” are beside the point.
