Keithley DAQ6510 – Data Acquisition And Multimeter System

• Channels: Up to 80
• Plug-In Switch Modules: 12 options
• Digitizer: 1 Msample/s
• Three-year warranty

• Large, 5-inch (12.7 cm) multi-touch capacitive touchscreen with graphical display

The DAQ6510 is a precision data acquisition and logging system that creates a new level of simplicity compared with the often complicated configuration and control found in many stand-alone solutions. A large 5-inch (12.7 cm) multi-touch display will guide users through set-up, data visualization, and analysis, removing the necessity of a PC and custom software for many applications. If you prefer or require a PC, a complement of IVI and Labview drivers and the Keithley KickStart Instrument Control Software are available to help with any application.

Using Keithley’s newest 6½-digit multimeter technology, you will find even greater accuracy, functionality, and speed. Two-year accuracy specifications are included, so you can be assured your critical measurements remain accurate and fully traceable.

With 12 plug-in switching and control modules available and two module slots, you can build a test system that can measure or control up to 80 devices-under-test (DUTs) in a multiplexing configuration. With two 6×8 matrix modules, a total of 96 crosspoints, the DAQ6510 can test one or multiple ICs. For high volume production testing, select a solid-state multiplexer module to maximize throughput with 800 channels/s scanning speed and minimize downtime compared with a fixed life, electromechanical relays. A number of modules have cold junction compensation, temperature references for thermocouple temperature monitoring of devices during environmental testing, and HALT and HASS accelerated life testing. Even switch signals from wireless devices with RF modules having a maximum switching frequency of 3.5 GHz.

Build a test sequence and define the required measurements from one setup screen. First, select the channels that will be used. Next, assign a measurement.

Set up and run a test simply and quickly without having to write a test program. The DAQ6510 Data Acquisition and Logging Multimeter System’s intuitive touchscreen provides simple configuration with visual and intuitive test setups, real-time visualizations of scan status for catching problems early to avoid lost test time, and easy analysis of test data.

• Configure: Setup a multi-channel scan with multiple measurement functions using one measure and scan configuration menu.
• Run and monitor: Display the progress of the scan during the test to immediately see measurements out of range and limits exceeded.
• Analyze: Display and analyze results using the plotting and statistics functions. Use the touchsceen’s pinch and zoom capability to study results in depth. Use cursors to compute statistics on segments of the data.

Now you can stream data from your DAQ6510 and create real-time IoT dashboards and anywhere-accessible data visualizations.

• Monitor and log data streams directly from the DAQ6510 in real-time and from anywhere – with no PC-in-the-middle required.
• Get e-Mail and text alerts using triggers based on measurement thresholds and other mathematical rules.
• Access, visualize, archive, share, transform, and analyze current and historical data from anywhere – no install required.
• Create dashboards for standardization, repeatability, and readability.
• Overlay, time-dilate, and compare data sets across test runs

Data can be stored on an external USB memory stick to prevent data loss in the event of interruption of line power. The DAQ6510 also has an option to automatically restart scanning after a power interruption. If the main power is lost, the DAQ6510 will re-start the scan when the power is restored. The new data will be stored in a separate data buffer with time-stamped measured data so that the lost time due to the power failure can be noted. Of most importance, there is no lost test time due to the instrument sitting idle following a power outage.

Maximize the amount of data collected in the minimum amount of time. Make faster measurements, switch channels faster, and scan more channels.

• Make measurements as short as 0.0005 power line cycles or 8.3 µs (10 µs) for 60 Hz (50 Hz) power lines.
• Scan at the rate of 800 channels per second with the solid-state multi-plexer plug-in switch module.
• Scan up to 80 2-pole channels for testing a statistically significant number of DUTs in a single test.

The DAQ6510 makes you more efficient before you even start testing with mass-terminated, D-sub connections on many of its plug-in switch modules. This minimizes downtime when changing plug-in switch modules during system maintenance or when you’re setting up a new test system.

Use the datalogger application to set up, program, and control the DAQ6510. Within minutes, configure channels, set measurement parameters such as limits and trigger sources, and view results in real-time.

Use the KickStart Instrument Control Software to quickly program a data acquisition test on a PC. The software does not require programming; just enter a test setup using the menu screens. Then visualize your results in tabular and graphical formats.
