Keithley’s new Model 2000-20 Scanning Multimeter is a special version of our popular Model 2000 61⁄2-digit DMM. It’s designed especially for switch-and-measure applications involving up to 20 inputs (channels).
The DMM comes complete with the 20-channel scanner card already installed in the option slot, so it’s easy to create a self-contained multi-point measurement solution. A quick-disconnect connector on the rear panel simplifies system set-up.
The switching card can be controlled from the front panel or via the RS-232 or IEEE-488 interface. The Model 2000-20 builds upon the standard Model 2000’s high-performance, cost-effective design, combining a broad range of functions with excellent accuracy specifications.
As the industry’s fastest 6 1⁄2-digit DMM, the Model 2000 has already established itself in literally thousands of production test applications around the world. Built-in measurement functions include AC and DC voltage and current, 2- and 4-wire ohms, as well as continuity, period, frequency, dB, dBm, temperature and diode testing. A built-in limit testing function can be used to sort or grade components or assemblies based on test results.
The Model 2000-20’s card can be configured to handle up to 20 channels of 2-pole switching or 10 channels of 4-pole switching. The closed channel is displayed on the multimeter’s front panel. Multiple channel closures can be programmed via the multimeter’s RS-232 or IEEE-488 interfaces. The card is designed for switching DC signals up to 60V/0.5A, 30VA maximum or AC signals up to 30V/0.5A, 15VA maximum, 100kHz maximum. Each contact pair on the card has <±1μV contact potential typical, 2μV maximum to ensure measurement integrity.
The Model 2000-20 helps preserve a user’s investment in control software when it’s used to upgrade the performance of an existing computer-controlled test system. The Model 2000-20 is compatible with system software developed for use with the standard Model 2000. The TestPoint software drivers included with the Model 2000-20 and the available LabVIEW driver provide support for the 20-channel switching capability.
For applications with even higher channel counts, the Model 2000-20 is compatible with Keithley’s 7000 Series switch mainframes and cards.
