Keithley 2000 [2000/2000-SCAN] 6 1/2-digit Multimeter with 10-Channel Scanner Card/IEEE-488 and RS-232 Interfaces

The Keithley 2000 6 1/2-Digit Multimeter is part of Keithley's family of high performance DMMs. Based on the same high speed, low noise A/D converter technology as the Model 2001 and 2002, the 2000 is a fast, accurate, and highly stable instrument that's as easy to operate as it is to afford. It combines broad measurement ranges with superior accuracy specifications - DC voltage from 100nV to 1 kV (with 0.002% 90-day basic accuracy) and DC resistance from 100μW to 100MW (with 0.008% 90-day basic accuracy). Optional switch cards enable multiplexing up to 20 different input signals for multipoint measurement applications.

High Throughput
The 2000 offers exceptional measurement speed at any resolution. At 6 1/2 digits, it delivers 50 triggered rdgs/s over the IEEE-488 bus. At 4 1/2 digits, it can read up to 2000 rdgs/s into its internal 1024 reading buffer, making it an excellent choice for applications where throughput is critical.

For benchtop or stand-alone applications, the 2000 has a front panel design that's simple to understand and easy to use. The 2000 has 13 built-in measurement functions, including DCV, ACV, DCI, ACI, 2WW, 4WW, temperature, frequency, period, dB, dBm, continuity measurement, and diode testing. A built-in RS-232 interface connects to a notebook or full-sized PC's serial port to take, store, process, and display measurements automatically.

Optional Multiplexer Cards
Creating a self-contained multipoint measurement solution is as simple as plugging a scanner card into the option slot on the 2000's back panel. This approach eliminates the complexities of triggering, timing, and processing issues and helps reduce test time significantly. For applications involving more than 10 measurement points, the 2000 is compatible with Keithley's Series 7000 switch matrices and cards.
