196 TPI Process DMM with 0 to 24mA output

The DMM 196 is a hand-held autoranging DMM. The backlit LCD can display three readings at one time. In addition to basic function of AC/DC V, AC/DC A, Ohm, Diode test, continuity, Capacitance, Frequency, there is the adaptor function. The DMM 196 also has RS232 output and software for recording information into a PC.

Large 50,000 count display: increases resolution and improves accuracy (1.7” x 2.75”, 43mm x 70mm)

0-24mA output: t for process controls

Triple Display: shows more than one reading simultaneously

51 Segment Analog Bar Graph: to catch fast AC fluctuations

Logic Test: Indicates transitions up to 2 MHz.

Frequency Counter: Measure low frequency signals from 1Hz to 2 MHz and display duty cycle, pulse width and period.

PC/Printer Compatibility to RS-232C Port Optional accessory A402 allows user to download data or waveforms to PC for archiving, processing, and report generation. Ideal for extended monitoring.

The DMM 196 also features:

REC: Records Min/Max and Average readings during specified measurement intervals.

COMP: Compare actual reading to preset HI and LOW value for Pass/Fail testing of component

HOLD: Tow hold system automatically holds the previous stable reading when a new one is obtained.
