Model 1908 Dual Digital Multimeter
Ref: 1908
£545.00 £490.50 excl. VAT £588.60 inc. VAT-
The 1908 multimeter incorporates a USB interface for remote control and readback.
-
The 1908P incorporates USB, RS232, GPIB and LXI compliant LAN interfaces making it suitable for a wider range of system applications.
-
Both models can operate from either AC-line power or internal batteries, but the 1908P requires AC-line power when using the remote interfaces.
-
The 1908 has both a main display and a secondary display. The two displays can be used for a variety of purposes:
-
To display a measurement along with the selected range (e.g. 100 Vdc).
-
To display a measurement in two different units (e.g. ac volts and dBm).
-
To display the result of a calculated function (e.g. value and % deviation).
-
To measure and display two parameters of one signal (e.g. ac and dc volts).
- To measure and display two different signals (e.g. ac volts and dc current).
1908 - USB interface The 1908 incorporates a USB interface for remote control and readback.
The interface is powered from the controlling device enabling the meter to operate from batteries without additional power drain.
1908P - comprehensive bus interfaces To meet a wider variety of system needs, the 1908P adds a comprehensive array of digital bus interfaces. USB, RS-232,
GPIB and LAN (Ethernet) with LXI support are all included. (Note that operation of the GPIB, RS-232 and LAN interfaces requires the meter to be powered from AC line.) The GPIB interface is compliant with IEEE-488.1 and IEEE-488.2. GPIB remains a widely used interface for system applications.An RS-232/RS-423 interface is provided for use with legacy systems. This type of serial interface remains in common useage and is perfectly satisfactory for lower speed applications.USB provides a simple and convenient means of connection to a PC and is particularly appropriate for small system use. A USB driver is provided which supports Windows 2000 and above including Win 8 and 10.
The LAN interface uses a standard 10/100 base-T Ethernet hardware connection with ICMP and TCP/IP Protocol for connection to a Local Area Network or direct connection to a single PC. This interface supports LXI and is highly appropriate for system use because of its scalable nature and low cost interconnection. The LAN interface is LXI compliant. LXI (LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation) is the next-generation, LAN-based modular architecture standard for automated test ystems managed by the LXI Consortium, and is expected to become the successor to GPIB in many systems.
