Benchtop multimeter

17 August 2011 Test & Measurement

The GDM-8261 from GW Instek is a 6½ digit digital multimeter with dual measurement displays, 11 measurement functions and 10 math functions at high accuracy (35 ppm DC voltage accuracy) to accommodate the most frequently performed parameter measurements in various application fields today.

The instrument adopts a scanner card, which carries 16 V-channels and two I-channels, to facilitate the measurements of multiple test points on either a single device or multiple devices, all at the press of a button. With this multipoint measurement capability, the GDM-8261 can be used as a semi-automatic ATE system to increase the throughput of manufacturing test or as a data logger to perform long-term monitoring or characterisation of a DUT (device under test).

DMM-Viewer PC software is available to support multichannel panel setting and data logging of the scanner card. A LabVIEW driver is also supported to help users create a virtual instrument on a PC screen for easy programming. For ATE system measurements or remote control applications, both USB and RS232 interfaces are provided as standard, and either GPIB or LAN can be selected as optional.
