Top resolution claims for PC-based multimeters
Signametrics has started production of what it claims are the fastest, most-accurate 7.5-digit digital multimeters for PCI plug-in applications.
Board-level DMMs boast benchtop touch and feel
A new family of 7.5-digit PXI/cPCI digital multimeters offers advanced functionality and faster measurement speeds.
Employing newly available technologies, Signametrics reckons its new unit combines the best DC accuracy, the highest reliability and the most accurate resistance measurements under $1000.
The SMX2055 is a plug-and-play PXI/cPCI DMM that features true 5.5-digit resolution with 1,000,000 counts.
With 100 reading per second it is 10 times faster than its leading competitor in this class.
The SMX2055 features true two- and four-wire resistance measurement with six ranges from 240ohm to 24Mohm.
In addition, resistance measurements on the SMX2055 are conducted with very low test voltages of 240mV and 2.4V.
Additional features included in this new low-cost PXI DMM are true RMS AC voltage and current measurements, diode V/I characteristics at 100nA to 1mA, auto-range and relative measurements, and min/max, decibel and percentage deviation functions.
"The large number of current sources implemented in the SMX2055 provide highest ohm resolution and widest resistance range in this DMM class", says Tee Sheffer, President of Signametrics Corp.
"Measurement speed of 100 readings per second, and DCV input resistance of 10Gohm make the SMX2055 far superior to any 5.5-digit DMM on the market".
The SMX2055 has the same "touch and feel" of bench-top digital multimeters.
It is fully compatible with the existing Signametrics line of PXI and PCI DMM families, facilitating painless upgrade.
All Signametrics DMMs are accompanied by "front panel" software, DLLs for all Windows applications, LabView and Linux drivers.
Readily available, the SMX2055 is priced at $795.
