About this Manual
This manual contains the safety and installation information that a new user will need to
set up the Tektronix DMM4040
or
DMM4050 Digital Multimeter (hereafter referred
to
as the Meter) prior to operation. You will also find compliance information,
environmental considerations, general and electrical specifications, a list
of
available user
documentation, and a list
of
standard and optional accessories for the Meter.
Introduction
Both Meters are 6-1/2 digit, dual-display multimeters designed for bench-top, field
service, and system applications. Their full complement
of
measurement functions plus
their RS-232, IEEE 488, and Ethernet Remote Interfaces make these multi meters ideal
candidates for precision manual measurements and use in automated systems.
For
portability, these multimeters include a carrying handle that also serves as a bail for
bench top operation.
There are a few feature differences between these two multimeters, and some
specifications are tighter for thc
DMM4050. Features that exist in only one multi meter
will be identified with the addition
of
"4050 Only" by each feature that
is
found only
in
that model. Separate specification tables are also used
to
clarify the differences between
these nvo models.
The following is a list
of
some
of
the features and functions:
• Bright, large-digit, wide-viewing-angle display
• Dual display for displaying two properties
of
an input signal (e.g., ac voltage
in
one
display and frequency
in
the other).
• Remote operation via IEEE 488, RS-232, and Ethernet interface.
• Trigger in and measurement-complete
out
• Front panel USB
port
for optional memory
• 6-1/2 digit resolution
• Half-rack width
• True rms ac
• 2 and 4-wire resistance measurements
• Extended 10 Q and I
GQ
ranges
• Frequency measurements to 1
MHz
• Capacitance measurements (4050 Only)
