Keithley DMM6500 – 6.5-Digit Graphical Touchscreen Digital Multimeter

Keithley DMM6500 – 6.5-Digit Graphical Touchscreen Digital Multimeter

The DMM6500 is a modern bench/system DMM delivering more measurement functionality, best-in-class measurement insight, and a price that will not break your budget. The most recognizable feature of the DMM6500 is the large 5-inch (12.7 cm) capacitive touch screen display that makes it easy to observe, interact with, and explore measurements with “pinch and zoom” simplicity. Beyond its display technology, the DMM 6500 superior analog measurement performance delivers 25 PPM basic DCV accuracy for one year and 30 PPM for two years, potentially allowing you to extend your calibration cycles.

The DMM6500 is equipped with all the measurement functions you would expect in a bench multimeter, so there’s no need to buy additional measurement capabilities. Its 15 measurement functions, including capacitance, temperature (RTD, thermistor, and thermocouple), diode test with variable current sources, and up to 1 MS/sec digitizing are now included.

The digitizing function can be used for voltage or current and is especially useful in capturing transient anomalies or to help profile power events such as the operating states of today’s battery operated devices. Current and voltage can be digitized with a programmable 1 MS/sec 16-bit digitizer, making it possible to acquire waveforms without the need for a separate instrument.

Real-time cloud-based monitoring and data visualizations

Now you can stream data from your DMM6500 and create real-time IoT dashboards and anywhere-accessible data visualizations.

Greater production test throughput and lower cost of test

Highlights

• Make measurements as short as 0.0005 power line cycles or 8.3 µs (10 µs) for 60 Hz (50 Hz) power lines.
• Use on-instrument, intelligent, command and control processing to reduce PC communication for reduced test time.

System Integration and Programming

Users have maximum programming flexibility with the DMM6500. In addition to traditional SCPI programming (default), the unit can also be configured for SCPI emulation for the Keithley 2000 or the Keysight 34401A. Additionally, Keithley’s powerful Test Script Processor (TSP^®) programming is another option that allows unique single- or multi-instrument testing applications where speed is critical.
