DMM6500 is a single mainframe model, and there are no other independent mainframe series products; 2000-SCAN and 2001-TCSCAN are optional add-on accessories for this mainframe, which need to rely on the DMM6500 mainframe to operate. The specific information is as follows:
DMM6500 Mainframe: 6½-digit benchtop/system digital multimeter, standard configuration with 1-channel measurement interface, 15 built-in measurement functions. The mainframe is equipped with expansion slots that support installation of optional accessories, and has no built-in multi-channel or temperature acquisition modules.
2000-SCAN (Optional Accessory): A user-installable scanning module, not an independent device. It supports 10 channels of 2-wire or 5 channels of 4-wire measurement, with a maximum input signal of 125VRMS/175Vpeak and no temperature compensation function.
2001-TCSCAN (Optional Accessory): A 2-in-1 module integrating scanning and temperature acquisition, which must be used with the DMM6500 mainframe. The channel configuration is 9 channels of 2-wire or 4 channels of 4-wire, with a built-in cold junction compensation (CJC) sensor, and the maximum input signal is the same as 2000-SCAN.
| Parameter Category | Specific Specification |
|---|
| Measurement function range | DCV: 100nV~1000V; DCI: 10pA~10A; ACV: 100nV~750VRMS; ACI: 100pA~10A; 2-wire/4-wire resistance: 1mΩ~100MΩ; capacitance: 0.1pF~120μF; Temperature: thermocouple (-200℃~1820℃), RTD (-200℃~850℃); Digital measurement: 1MS/s sampling rate, 16-bit resolution |
| 10V DCV Accuracy | 24 hours (Tcal±1℃): 0.0010% of reading + 0.0004% of range; 1 year (Tcal±5℃): 0.0025% of reading + 0.0005% of range; 2 years (Tcal±5℃): 0.0030% of reading + 0.0005% of range |
| Data Storage | Volatile memory supports a maximum of 7 million readings (including channel ID and format information); The front panel is equipped with a USB host port (supports FAT32 storage devices), and data can be exported in CSV format |
| User Interface | 5-inch WVGA (800×480) capacitive touch screen, supporting waveform zoom and cursor positioning, supports Chinese display language |
| Communication Interface | Standard configuration: LAN/LXI (RJ-45), USB-TMC (Type B); Reserved communication slot, optional GPIB (KTTI-GPIB), RS-232 (KTTI-RS232), TSP-Link (KTTI-TSP) modules |
| Rack Dimensions | W × H × D: 213.8mm×88.4mm×356.6mm |
KickStart Instrument Control Software: Supports Windows operating system, provides a graphical user interface for configuring measurement parameters, executing test sequences, and generating table/trend chart/histogram reports. It supports connecting up to 8 instruments simultaneously.
TSP® Scripting Environment: Based on the Lua programming language, it supports user-defined test scripts (including conditional branching and loop logic). Scripts can be stored in the 6MB non-volatile memory of the instrument and run without an external computer.
Compatible Drivers: Provides native drivers for National Instruments LabVIEW, IVI-C, and IVI-COM, which can be downloaded from the Keithley official website.
As the only mainframe model, its core features are summarized based on documentation as follows:
Comprehensive Function Coverage: 15 measurement functions are all standard, including digitizing measurement (1MS/s sampling rate), no extra payment is required for unlocking, and it can independently meet most electronic testing requirements.
Flexible Accessory Expansion: With reserved accessory slots, when you need multi-channel or temperature acquisition functions, you only need to install the corresponding accessories, no need to replace the host, which reduces the cost of function upgrade.
Convenient Operation and Maintenance: The capacitive touch screen supports on-site waveform analysis without an external computer; the current input fuses (3A/250V FU-99-1, 11A/1000V 159-0583-00) can be replaced by users themselves.
Basic Measurement: When used independently, the host can complete conventional parameter measurement such as DCV, resistance and capacitance in laboratory R&D and electronic product maintenance, and realize data recording with KickStart software.
Multi-channel Batch Measurement: Installing 2000-SCAN accessory to the host, it is suitable for synchronous detection of multiple stations in industrial production lines (such as voltage/resistance measurement of multiple test points on circuit boards).
Temperature-related Measurement: Installing 2001-TCSCAN accessory to the host, it can collect temperature and electrical parameters synchronously, which is suitable for material temperature-resistance characteristic test and component environmental adaptability test.
