Keithley Instruments: Series 2000 High Performance Digital Multimeters

Overview

Series 2000 multimeters are essentials for anyone’s basic electrical toolbox because they combine all the measurement capabilities needed for electronic device and sub-system measurements, operational circuit easurements, and electronic product development and validation for bench and in ATE applications. With maximum resolutions from 61⁄2 to 81⁄2 digits and a variety of built-in capabilities, there’s sure to be a Series 2000 DMM that matches your application. All Series 2000 DMMs are based on the same high speed, low noise 28-bit A/D converter technology for superior measurement precision, sensitivity, and traceability. The Models 2001 and 2002 incorporate five distinct processors for tighter A/D control, higher accuracy, more precise triggering, higher throughput, and support for a variety of advanced capabilities.

Model 20002000: Get high accuracy without a high price tag

The 61⁄2-digit Model 20002000 has unique capabilities that simplify building and upgrading automated production test systems. For example, the built-in limit testing function can be used to sort or grade components or assemblies. It also offers a full resolution reading rate (50 rdg/s) that’s nearly ten times faster than any other meter in its class and a maximum speed of 2000 rdgs/s. Built-in math functions let you make a variety of calculations on the acquired data without a computer controller.

Model 2001 2001 : Advanced features you never thought a DMM could offer

The Model 2001 2001 couples exceptional accuracy (0.0018% basic), resolution, and sensitivity with measurement and mathematical capabilities rarely found in DMMs. Its internal peak detector can catch 1μs spikes, such as power supply spikes and transients, AC line power surges, and short-duration dropouts on components, as well as up to 1MHz for repetitive signals. With the Model 2001, it’s easy to measure AC peak value, average, and true rms directly to characterize the signal thoroughly.

Model 20022002: Truly usable 81⁄2-digit resolution

The Model 20022002 offers the same advanced features and functions as the Model 2001, then adds an extra decade of resolution and broader DC voltage, temperature, and resistance ranges. The Model 2002’s performance is specified for a ±5°C environment, not a ±1°C environment, and no daily recalibration is required to stay in spec, so it’s ideal for high accuracy production test applications. An “open lead” detection function helps identify problems that could lead the system to pass components that should have failed a test. Built-in digital I/O capabilities and a pass/fail testing function simplify connecting it to a variety of handlers for fast, efficient device binning and sorting.

Model 20102010 : Resolve low level signals quickly and accurately

With a noise floor of just 100nV RMS, the 71⁄2-digit Model 20102010 is designed for high accuracy millivolt- and microvolt-level measurements. It also wraps up all the functions needed for characterizing the resistance, linearity, or isolation of contacts, connectors, switches, or relays in a single instrument. With built-in capabilities like a low power ohms mode, dry circuit testing, offset-compensated ohms, and a 10Ω range, the Model 20102010 DMM is ideal for developing, validating, or production testing sensors, transducers, A/D and D/A converters, regulators, references, connectors, switches and relays. It’s equally appropriate for end-of-life contact testing per ASTM B539-90.

Models 20152015 and 20162016 : Audio analysis plus full-featured DMMs

Each of these specialized instruments combines audio band quality measurements and analysis with a full-function 61⁄2-digit DMM for production testing of audio devices and sub-systems. The Models 20162016 and 2016-P provide twice the sine wave generator output of the Models 20152015 and 2015-P for applications that require test signals greater than 8Vrms. The Models 2015-P and 2016-P offer additional processing capacity for frequency spectrum analysis. All four models can measure Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) over the complete 20Hz to 20kHz audio band, as well as compute THD+Noise and Signalto-Noise plus Distortion (SINAD). These capabilities are critical for applications such as assessing non-linear distortion in components, devices, and systems. Five industry-standard bandpass filters are provided for shaping the input signal for audio and telecommunication applications. Refer to the Selector Guide on pages 10-11 for specification information.

Key Applications: Automated test applications, ATE systems in R&D, design validation, and manufacturing.
