Agilent M9182A/M9183A PXI-based digital multimeter range

Agilent has introduced two digital multimeters to complement its family of PXI products. The 6.5-digit instruments offer high measurement speeds within their price range, along with good accuracy and stability.

The M9182A and M9183A enhanced-performance DMM measure common parameters such as DCV, DCI, ACV, ACI, two- and four-wire resistance and temperature. Each offers 30 parts-per-million basic DCV and 300 parts-per-million basic ACV 1-year accuracies and inputs up to 300 V.

The devices deliver 4500 readings/s and 20,000 readings/s. These fast reading speeds translate into higher test system throughput and lower cost of test.

The M9183A is capable of additional measurements, such as capacitance. Both DMMs are compatible with PXI, PXI Hybrid and compactPCI instrument mainframes, including the company’s recently announced PXI mainframe products.

Each DMM is supplied with a full suite of software to enable easy system integration regardless of what software environment end users have on their PCs. An intuitive software front panel enables DMM set-up, measurement and system troubleshooting without programming.

The DMMs include IVI-COM, IVI-C, and LabVIEW G-drivers that are compatible with C++, Visual Basic, NI LabVIEW and many other PC software environments.
