DMM6500 6½-Digit Bench/System Digital Multimeter - 1

DMM6500 6½-Digit Bench/System Digital Multimeter Datasheet Key Features • 15 measurement functions including capacitance, temperature, and digitizing • Expanded measurement ranges include 10 pA to 10 A and 1 µΩ to 100 MΩ • Large 5-inch (12.7 cm) multi-touch capacitive touchscreen with graphical display • Large internal memory; store up to 7 million readings • Multiple language modes: SCPI, TSP® scripting, Keithley 2000 SCPI emulation, Keysight 34401A SCPI emulation 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. • Two-year specifications allow for longer calibration cycles • Standard USB-TMC and LXI/Ethernet communication interfaces • Optional user-installable communication interfaces including: GPIB, TSP-Link®, and RS-232 • Capture voltage or current transients with 1 MS/sec digitizer • USB host port for storing readings, instrument configurations, and screen images • Three-year warranty

Capture and Analyze Voltage or Current Transitions Power analysis is becoming more important in today’s electronic designs. Designers must now consider more efficient components and complex system design typically requiring multiple power states. The DMM6500 has the tools you need to help design and troubleshoot these complex systems. Eight different current ranges allow measurements from 10 amps down to 10 pico-amps, giving you the dynamic range to measure your power states. In addition, a built-in 1 MS/sec digitizing function can help capture transient events, allowing you to see and...

Multi-channel/Scanning Applications Temperature Measurement Applications When characterizing or profiling your design it is often critical to make a series of measurements. In these applications the need for automated multi-channel measurements is advantageous. The DMM6500 is equipped with a scanner card slot allowing up to 10 channels of switching, giving you the capability to make automated multi-channel measurements. Plugging in the 2000-SCAN card gives users up to 10 channels of 2-pole measurements or 5 channels of 4-pole measurements. Functions can be programmed on a per-channel basis...
