DMMs Include Model With 30-W Bench Power Supply

Three new test instruments offer new levels of functionality and value, according to the manufacturer. The U3606A multimeter/dc power supply is a convenient hybrid that combines a 5-1/2-digit digital multimeter (DMM) and a 30-W dual-range power supply. Unlike most “source-and-measure” devices, the DMM and power supply can operate simultaneously and independently, providing efficient, affordable testing and saving space on the bench or in a rack. The DMM includes essential multimeter capabilities as well as four-wire milliohm measurements and eight math functions. The power supply includes overvoltage and overcurrent protection plus additional output capabilities, such as auto scan and ramp, and a square-wave generator. The separate DMMs are the U3401A and U3402A, which provide 4-1/2- and 5-1/2-digit resolution, respectively. Designed for educational, electronics, and communications applications, these elegantly simple models also include up to six built-in math functions and a lock slot for physical security. The U3606A multimeter/dc power supply costs $1199 and is available now. The U3401A and U3402A DMMs cost $449 and $599, respectively, and are also available now.
