Features Some important Model 2001 features include: • Full range of functions Among other functions, the multimeter can measure DC voltage (normal and peak spikes), AC voltage (RMS, average, and peak), DC cur- rent (normal and in-circuit), AC current (RMS and average), two and four-wire resistance (normal and offset- compensated), frequency, and temperature (resistance temperature devices or thermocouples). • Two-line display Readings and front panel messages are shown on an alphanumeric display having a 20- character top line and a 32-character bottom line. • Multifunction measuring and display From the front panel, you can configure the instrument to sequentially measure and simultaneously display readings of multiple functions. •Reading and setup storage Readings and setup data can be stored and recalled from the front panel or over the IEEE-488 bus. For example, the buffer can be programmed to store up to 850 readings at 4.5 digits, or up to 250 time-stamped readings at 6.5 digits. The Model 2001 can be configured with memory options that extend the storage capacity up to 30,000 readings and ten setups. High-speed measurements The instrument is capable of acquiring, for example, 2000 readings/second at 4.5 digits of resolution, and 215 readings/second at 6.5 digits. Talk-only mode From the front panel, you can set the instrument to send readings to an IEEE-488 printer or, with an optional adapter, to a Centronics printer. Digital calibration The instrument may be digitally calibrated from either the front panel or over the bus. Standard IEEE-488 interface Bus operation con- forms to the IEEE-488.2 and SCPI standards. Trigger link This is a new trigger concept that provides more versatile and precise external triggering. It is in addition to the standard Trigger In/Measurement Complete BNC external triggering techniques. Optional field-installable internal scanner This is a 10-channel scanner card, which includes eight channels of 2-pole relay switching and two channels of 2-pole solid-state switching. All channels can be configured for 4-pole operation.
