B+K Precision BK549xC Series 5½ and 6½ Digit Multimeters
The B&K Precision BK5492C and BK5493C are 5½ and 6½ digit digital bench multimeters. They offer graphical capabilities such as trend and histogram charts, convenient math and statistical data features, and standard LAN and USBTMC-compliant interfaces. Users have the ability to configure a variety of test setups that combine bar meter, trend chart, or histogram displays with statistics or math functions. Additionally, the dual measurement capability enables simultaneous display of 2 measurements. All models deliver measurement speeds up to 1000 readings/s and include 12 measurement functions. The 6½ digit models provide greater DCV accuracy up to 35 ppm, higher resolution, and rear input terminals to simplify connections. A GPIB interface is also available and is included with models BK5492CGPIB and BK5493CGPIB. The provided operating software supports remote instrument control, live measurement monitoring, and data logging. A LabVIEW driver is also available for download and simplifies system integration and instrument control.
- 12 measurement functions: AC and DC voltage and current, 2 and 4-wire resistance, capacitance, frequency, diode, temperature, continuity test, DCV ratio.
- High-contrast 4.3"/10.9 cm full color LCD.
- Histogram, bar meter, and trend chart offer a variety of data analysis options.
- Accurate frequency measurements to 1 MHz.
- Display min, max, peak-peak, average, standard deviation statistics simultaneously.
- Null, dB, dB, %, mx+b, and run/stop math functions.
- Internal storage buffer holds 10,000 readings.
- Measurement speed up to 1000 readings/s.
- 35 ppm basic DC voltage accuracy.
- 2- and 4-wire resistance measurements down to 10 Ω.
- Dual measurement display.
- Temperature measurement capability using a Pt100 or 5 kΩ thermistor probe.
- Rack mount kit option (RK02).
- Rear input terminals for rack use (6½-digit model only).
- Standard USB (USBTMC-compliant), RS232, and Ethernet/LAN interfaces, GPIB option.
- Real-time clock/calendar to set/read time and date.
