Tektronix Introduces High-Precision Desktop Digital Multimeter for Complex Design Applications

October 6, 2009 - Tektronix, the world's leading provider of test, measurement and monitoring instruments, today announced the introduction of the DMM4000 series of digital multimeters (DMMs) with 5.5 and 6.5 digit resolution for precise measurement and in-depth analysis. Help engineers debug complex electronics and verify circuit design. In addition, the digital multimeter family integrates with National Instruments LabVIEW SignalExpressTM interactive instrument software to quickly acquire, analyze, and display data from multiple instruments. With the addition of the DMM4000 series, Tektronix offers its customers a broad range of powerful benchtop instrumentation lines. These instruments can be connected to each other, used in combination to achieve associated measurement and data logging, and provide extended debugging capabilities.

As circuits in embedded system designs become more complex and tighter, engineers need to accurately measure, debug, and verify circuits with a high degree of accuracy in a variety of signal types and parameters. To effectively meet the needs of engineers, they need a comprehensive set of integrated tools including oscilloscopes, signal generators, and digital multimeters that must be easy to use, highly reliable, and provide advanced analysis capabilities.

Mr. BobBluhm, Vice President of Tektronix' Basic Instrument and Accessories product line, said: "Tektronix' new DMM family of products can be combined with Tektronix MSO/DPO oscilloscopes, logic analyzers and AFG3000 function generators to provide outstanding engineers. Performance and high ease of use. As part of Tektronix' intelligent debugging strategy, we partnered with National Instruments to ensure that the DMM Series integrates NI LabVIEWSignalExpress instrument software and is compatible with our other desktop products. Now, we The entire Tektronix test platform used by customers is interconnected through a single software interface for instrument control, automatic measurement, data logging and comprehensive analysis of relevant signals. This is currently plagued by many of the many types of signals that are highly complex in design and debugging. Engineers are a major breakthrough."

Versatility and accuracy

Tektronix' new line of digital multimeters offers outstanding versatility and precision for engineers' most demanding measurement needs. The range includes a 5.5-bit multimeter and two 6.5-digit multimeters to support a full range of multi-function DMM measurements including voltage, current, frequency, period, diode, capacitor, resistance and temperature measurements. With the dedicated front panel buttons, you can quickly access frequently used functions and parameters, reducing setup time. The DMM4040 and DMM4050 feature a front-panel USB port for easy data logging and storage instrument setup, further simplifying operation.

For some in-depth analysis, the 6.5-digit DMM4040 and DMM4050 also provide a graphical display that supports histograms, trending, and statistical analysis. All models (including the 5.5-digit DMM4020) come standard with a three-year limited warranty and a limited edition of National Instruments LabVIEW SignalExpress Tektronix Edition software.

With NI LabVIEWSignalExpress, customers can connect and control multiple Tektronix benchtop instruments using USB and other communication buses. With a common software interface, users can perform automated and complex measurements, record data over longer periods of time, correlate data from multiple instruments, and capture and analyze measurements. They can also export measurement and data record results to Excel. Through the NationalInstruments LabVIEW graphical development environment, users can further optimize the system and further analyze the circuit design to improve measurement automation.

John Pasquarette, vice president of software marketing at National Instruments, said: "Tektronix' new DMM series, combined with the National Instruments software platform, provides the perfect combination of great flexibility and high performance. Thanks to the NI LabVIEWSignalExpress software, engineers can use the DMM4000 series. Further enhance the efficiency and flexibility of the test platform, perform complex measurements, and record data."

For specific high-precision measurements, digital multimeters are a vital force in embedded designer test platforms. For example, the Tektronix DMM4050 is capable of measuring millivolts or microvolts with industry-leading accuracy. The advantage of this design is that it provides a higher resolution of up to 100 nanovolts with an accuracy of 0.0024%. With a patented single set of test harnesses, all models are capable of accurate 2x4 ohm measurements, avoiding possible errors in the double set of lead bundles.
