B&K Precision has introduced its
new 5 1/2-digit bench digital multimeter (DMM), the model 5492B, expanding its
present 4 1/2-digit (2831E) and 50,000-count (5491B) DMM offerings. Featuring a
120,000-count display resolution, the 5492B provides 0.01% basic VDC accuracy
along with a broad range of functions, and is suitable for any application
requiring accurate and reliable measurements, all at an affordable price.
The 5492B offers many essential
measurements for benchtop testing: DC voltage and true RMS AC voltage; DC
current and true RMS AC current; two- and four-wire resistance; continuity;
diode test; frequency; and period. The DMM also includes a variety of built-in
math functions such as Rel, Max/Min, dBm, dB, %, limits, and Mx+B.
Additionally, the 5492B is equipped
with an internal buffer capable of storing up to 512 readings at a rate of up
to 57 readings/s. Buffer storage operation and retrieval can be completed from
the front panel or via remote command. The multimeter can also calculate
statistical information from the buffer such as the minimum, maximum, or
average reading, and standard deviation of the stored readings.
Advanced triggering options are
provided on the front and rear panel, which enable users to manually trigger a
measurement from a key press, send a bus trigger via remote control, or input
an external trigger signal. A VM Comp (voltmeter complete) output terminal is
accessible to indicate the completion of a measurement.
Programmable via SCPI commands, the
5492B comes standard with USB and RS232 interfaces, and offers a built-in GPIB
interface option (model 5492BGPIB) for labs and system integrators. PC remote
control software is provided for front panel emulation or simple measurement
data logging functions.
