Hi,
I am starting into PLC's and want to buy a good fluke multimeter, something i'll have for the rest of my life and has all the functionality I will probably ever need.
I'm looking at these two general purpose meters:

http://www.fluke.com/Fluke/uken/Digital-Multimeters/Fluke-77-IV.htm?PID=56126
What are the important differneces?
I also want to buy a signal generator to simulate iput signals, 4-20mA, digital inputs 5v, 24v etc etc. Can anyone suggest what type of unit i need for this, i've seen 0 30v dc power supplies which you can vary the volts / amps, is there a unit that has 4-20mA output included aswell?
Thanks,
James.
